As long as everything goes as planned, I'll be picking up a 60g cube setup this weekend, I'll need lights, heater, powerhead, few odds and ends.. for the light I was thinking of getting the reefbreeders nova A4 (I like the radions, but a little pricey). will the A4 work well with the 24x24x24 tank? what optics should I get? is anyone currently using this setup (A4 over a 60 cube)?

any help is appreciated..

Thanks,
Garrett

I personally am a fan of Reef Radiance. Rick has the best customer support ever! I am running his Lumentek Pro 120's on my 75G and I couldnt be happier! Optics, i would go with 90 degree. Good Luck on your decision!

Have a RB Nova over a 30g cube right now. Have the 60g cube waiting to be set up in the next month or two. Will definitely be using the Nova over the 60g cube as well. Should have plenty of output and spread to support it.

The Nova A4 will be a great fit for that size tank. 90 degree optics at 8-10" should work well with any corals you want.

Lol actually decided to pass on the 60 cube but I'm putting up a 40b.. Will a photon 24 be good? Mixed sps, lps, soft, clam.. Worried more about coverage, I know there's enough power..

The 24 should work on the 40 breeder. 90s shoudl be fine at about 12", you can go lower if you remove the optics.

awesome, thanks, that's kinda what I figured.. so if the fixture is at 12" the edges won't be dim?

probably going to place an order soon, what's the wait time on these now?
