ATI Sunpower on 6 foot tank

[espieg]

I’m looking to buy a light for my 6 foot 125 gallon and think I’ve settled on a 60’ ATI sunpower fixture. How will the coverage be on the tank? Also, will the 4 bulb be enough to grow easy sps or should I get the 6?
Thanks.

I would suggest the 6 bulb combo I will be setting up a 6’ 180 gallon and will be going with the 8 bulb.

You will get great coverage with a ATI 60" fixture over a 72" tank.
IMO the 6 or 8 bulb would be better for a SPS tank.

I believe the general recommendation for sps is 1 bulb/3” depth. So if your tank is 18” front to back, go 6-bulb, 24” 8-bulb.

I just set up a 24” Sunpower on a 30” long tank. The coverage appears great! I would imagine a 60” would be perfect, especially if you want some lower light corals on the ends. I went with a 6 bulb on 24” wide tank because my tank is only 16” deep. Your going to love the Sunpower though, its such a nice fixture. Im super excited about mine!
