for fish only, 2 a350w 's should be enough over a 6 foot tank. If you were doing corals, then you would need 3 of them

Nice! I have 2 of the Kessil A350W Tuna Blues over my tank as well. I see you've got some clams in there, what kinds are they?

I keep reading that maxima and many other clams need MH lighting... LEDs being so new, I haven't seen any info on whether LED's are strong enough for most clams coloring to thrive under them. I really want to add a clam or two to my tank, so seeing yours under the same lights as I have makes me so happy!!!

Hows the color on your clams? They look awesome from what I can tell!

the clams seem even better under the led's than they were under my 250watt metal halides before

Yes, wide angle lenses. My tank is 48x24x24 and 2 kessil wide angles covers the whole tank nicely.

Yep! That's the master of the tank. Had him since he was a baby, about 3 and a half years now
