need help selecting lighs

[rngrjt]

ok i am returning the $400 lights i ordered from pet solutions because they were 15 wide not 12. SO now i need some recommendation from you pros on what to order. I need max light for a reef tank. Its 36x12x21. Lend me a hand guy so i can get this new one ordered. thanks

Or for $360 more, you can get the 250w Metal halide. The one above is only a 150w MH w/2x65 PCs.

I don't have anything to compare to, but I got this light in the 6' version and am happy with it - after 3 months.

How about this:

mine is 48x7. I am not sure on the width of the 36". Not too sure if the output would be good for reef.
