Nice I run 2 @ 36 " 24/7 and 2@36" beamsworks DA FSPECs over my 180 and my fish won't even let me grow plants...But they sure look colorful !
I have lots of 36" tanks so it just made sense to me ,but I looked at the 72" fixtures..The canopy was next in the way for me !

I haven't used the Beamsworks lights, but I do have two of the Finnex 24/7 SE on my 60 gallon and 1 on my 30 gallon.
What do you have in your 180?

Slightly overcrowded with 12 clown loaches [12-15 years with me] ,8 Denison barbs about 5-6 years old,7 soon to be 6 Electric blue acara and a school of lemon tetras about 25 strong...
I run a Marineland Model 4 sump waterbridged to a 29g for extra volume .The filter is in the basement so I have room and less noise. Here it is a couple years ago when they let me grow plants...
