Corner tank lighting


I am rolling with a corner tank again coming in next week. I was going to do MH but would like to just go with some really good PC lighting now. The shape of the tank makes this hard to do. This won't be a built in now, so I need the lighting to be tank mounted.

I am getting the AGA 54 with the corner overflow, and will put a sump in with a return pump and skimmer, and that is about it to keep it simple.

Hrmm...a cube would be easier I guess in retrospect for lighting. I really just like the single overflow with a couple of nozzles to keep the inside of the tank tidy looking.

Hrmm, what to do what to do.

So like a single pendant right over the middle of the corner tank?

Sounds good, or build a canopy and mount a hqi or mogul fixture, tho the pendant would probably be the easiest. I just don't like the look of the hanging pendants.

I would go with the pendant. I'm going to probably do one on my 46 bf when I get it.
