Hi i have a 58 Gallon tank that is 30" long and 24" deep. I'm looking to upgrade my lighting. Would a 24" 4 bulb tek light or sunblazer fixture work. I keep mostly lps. I'm thinking i need a 6 bulb fixture or possibly looking into led. Thanks for any help

With 30", I know how tough it can be to light a tank. Usually I'd say T5's, but then you get 24'' bulbs and not so good coverage. I've never heard of a sunblazer. Is that an aquactinics fixture or is it LED? In this case I think LED would be the way to go.

It is made by sunlight supply. It is very similar to tek lighting but is much cheaper because of housing.

I'm very happy with my TEK light. I think it was well worth the cash. I saw a few Sunblaze fixtures over plants in my botany lab back in college and they seemed to do the trick. Im not sure how good the reflectors are for a reef set up, but they did the trick on the flora side of the house

6x24 will be fine for your tank. Yoy may have some dark spots on the corners, but it wont be terrible

BTW, forgive the lack of apostrophes. My bird picked off the key!
