36" nova pros and tank stands oh my!

[poolshark181]

just wondering if 36" nova extreme pros would be overkill for a 40 gallon breeder?

also, if buying a stand for the 40g for $150 is more cost effective than diy. im not sure how much it would cost to diy =/

Nope,The Nova Pro won't be overkill.
Sorry,I never built a stand so I have no idea on cost.

drat, now i HAVE to buy the pros =p

 

[reeffreak]

Well,you don't have to buy the Pros.Breeders are shallow tanks,the regular 4 bulb Extreme would be okay,I still like the Pros better though.

 

[poolshark181]

right, but the standards dont have contoured reflectors do they? with pros, corals will grow faster?

 

[reeffreak]

Corals that need lots of light will grow better under the Pros.If SPS,clams and anemones interest you then get the Pro's.
