I want to have a 60L x 20H x 13D (rather than 20D) built to go in our new house. Since the tank will be the length of a hundred gallon but only as deep as a 55 gallon, I'll have to use bulbs that will fit the 60 inch length standard covers. I am assuming that there will be no extra brightness to disturb our cichlids. Any ideas or comments?

That depth change won't affect the fish. If anything, your tank will look nice and bright. Most times the problem is the tank being to dim.

Thanks Frank - that's encouraging! :dancing:
