I'm setting up a 3'x4'x12"H tank and want to run one 250w DE bulb over it.

Which pendant would you recommend to hang over it? I understand that not all of tank will be covered with light with just one pendant, which is fine.

I need help finding the most efficient WIDESPREAD parabolic reflector. Need to find one that has the most coverage area. Not the spotlight effect.

after doing some research I'm finding these to possible fit my needs-

Sunlight Supply Lumen Max 3 DE

Sunlight Supply Lumen Max Elite DE

CoralVue's Lumen Bright L3 DE

Pacific Garden Supply Luminarc Stealth DE

Anyone have expreince with these?

Any others out there that i missed?

Sunlight Supply told me their Lumen Max 3 DE gives more spread than their Lumen Max Elite DE. That the Lumen Max Elite DE was developed to give a spotlight effect over a 2'x2'. Just not sure on the Lumen Max 3 DE though, only has a 11"x11" footprint.

Thanks for your help!

Full size lumenarcs will give you a nice spread 3'x3'. I believe the Fp is 19.5''x19.5''
