Somehow I was a bit brain dead when I bought this aquarium, actually thinking it was a standard 40 gallon breeder. Being a 40 gallon cube, I would like to get feedback on my light choice. I have just received 2 orbit marine R24's with the stands and loop controller. Do I still need to use 2 with the cube configuration of this aquarium? Thanks for all the great advice you all give to us noobs every day!
 
Wether you use one or both probably depends more on the animals you're keeping. But I don't see any issue with using both to get higher PAR levels since it's a taller tank.
