I have a 36 inch 6 bulb current nova extreme pro and im going to get a 4 foot by 12 inches high and 2 foot deep tank and i was wondering if this is still enough to grow rbta

if not im gona have to sell that light:ooh:
 
yep, but the spread is not good enough to cover the whole tank, the left and right sides won't have much light, mostly shadows. If you have it already, go ahead and start with it.
 
well im gona have a tank full so im gona have to sell it

I would agree that this is a good decision. If you're looking for a replacement, the AquaticLife T5s are great and has a programmable control built into the unit. If you going with LED, Kessils A350W would be one good choice.
 
You need 2x, one for every 2ft x 2ft area. You cannot get any better coverage than 30" x 24" area. I would suggest that you just start with your current fixture and save until you can afford what you really want.
