Isn't that only 6 FT? I think he need 84 inch fixture.

yeah thats why i would have to mix 36 and 48 in lights you can't find anything 84 in. Also I need it to go in my canaopy not just on top of my tank

I think piper's are pc anyway. I use four 4 ft vho on a 7 foot tank. They're staggered down the canopy. Slightly more watts 440 vs 412 and a 3 foot URI is only a dollar cheaper than the 4 foot.

my whole problem is that one of my halide ballast died and I have to send it off to be repaired because it is still under warranty. so i really need a light for the right side of my tank. just thought i could go with a vho setup for now or run both later on like phil does. before to much longer I'll have to buy new halide bulbs anyways. I was looking at a new icecap 660 ballast and the four 48 in bulb,but i really don't know what to do. Should I just buy another halide ballast why I wait on the other that way I have a spare or what. tell me what you guys think
