Below is a list of common aquarium sizes 60" to 72" Lights and possible recommendations for Compact Fluorescent, VHO and Metal Halide w/ Compact
Fluorescent Lighting Hoods.
This chart is limited to lighting reef tanks with aquarium lighting hoods. Aquarium hoods (or fixtures) are complete lighting systems in a housing
that sit on top of the tank, or are raised up from the tank using mounting legs (that may come with the light or are an option). For those with
existing canopies you should look at the Retrofit Lighting Chart.
