Another question on lights- 60"

[carey]

If I pick up a 60 inch tank what can i expect as far as lighting? I've done some searching and most brands go from 48" to 72" fixtures. The only place I found a 60" was the odyssea which interestingly enough has 4 80w bulbs in it. When you get a 72" higher end light it also uses 80w bulbs.

When you do find a 60" fixture it only uses 54w 4 foot bulbs so I'd be loosing light on the ends.

Quite the dilemma I have here. i though lighting would be cheaper for a 60" but it's not looking that way.

I already have two odyssea units, one the cheapo and one from a few years back which is excellent quality believe it or not lol

Any one have any ideas off the top of their head? I gotta make a decision on this CL tank by tomorrow. or should I just wait for a 6 foot 125g?

I guess a standard would be 2 30" fixtures each with 24" bulbs, probablly 24watts per bulb ?

I'm looking for reef lighting. Not sure 24w bulbs are gonna cut it. It does have the center brace so I;m not sure how two 30's would actually fit.
