Can I use 1 24" 48 x3W over a 75 gal

Discription says it all. Yes, No, Maybe?

I'd say no but I guess it depends on the optics used and what you are trying to keep. To get enough spread you'd have to have the fixture raised quite a bit and you'd be losing light intensity otherwise the ends of the tank would be dim. What fixture are you looking at, maybe some with some experience with that fixture can comment.

Eshine 48x3w 4G. would two be two much? seems like alot of light for a 4ft tank.

I would find or build a 36" fixture myself.... I always like to have room on the ends for lower light demanding corals...

I'm running somethign similar over my wife's 75, but I used two 12" heat sinks and (40) 3W crees. She got a mixed tank (mostly softies and LPS, but several decent sized SPS colonies of the Monti variety).

Is that 20 3w per 12" heatsink

Late reply... I'm using two of these on a 60X18X25 (120) and They are fine. I don't think any more light would be needed.
Did you order Cree or Bridgelux?
