I'll get some more pics of that, but the whole unit swivels off to the side. Pretty cool, just hope it stays there

Do you think two halides might be over kill. Looks like a lot of light spilling over the sides

Yes. It's overkill. But one is underkill. So, lesser of two evils

Further, I used to run 2 x 400w on my 75g, which was 18x48 foot print. Worked out well. This is overall a bigger area, so should be fine. I have a big chiller
