I just bought a 125 rr oceanic tank setup. I also bought the Coralife Aqualight pro lights. My thought was that I would buy 2 36 inch lights instead of the 72 inch lights b/c of all the light and heat that the 72 in. would put off. My question is what would be the best way to set the lights on the tank? The lights have legs but, my delima with the legs are they are made for the end of the tank. So in the middle of the tank they sit higher and are not as sturdy. I was wondering what other people did? Or should I just take my lights back and buy the 72 inch? If so then I am affraid that I will have to get a chiller.

You can probably make some thing up so the lights sit steadier on your setup. If not you wnat to go with the 72 inch setup and get a fan or 2 to help with heat on top.

Thanks for your help. I think what I have decided to do is cut some 1x3 and drill it into my canopy and take the legs off and have the lights sit on top of the 1x3 braces.

Thank you again for your help.

Sound like a good choice.
