Better reflector for spread.

[AJDuran]

I'm looking to set up a a 36"x36"x24" 135g cube wanted to use only one 400w Metal Halide over this and wanted to know what would be the best reflector for this application thanks.

Yep

[AJDuran]

what about the lumenbright full size

For the spread the lumenarc would be better than the lumenbright, but with the lumen bright you could mount the bulb a higher.

so what would be the best height to mount the lumenarc? thanks

I was thinking of getting a tank this size. I wanted to get the Lumenbrights with the 12K reeflux bulb. They say you get a 24" x 24" spread of light. Since you mount them higher you 16" to bulb, your heat problems are less. With a 400 watt you may be able to go a bit higher. You will have a 6" corridor between the coral and the glass. To me that seems about right.
