ok i've decided to go with the tek light for my 90 gallon, which isn't set up yet. i will start off with FOWLR but soon after, am going to go reef setup. I want a light that i don't have to worry about upgrading later, my tank size is 4' long x 18" deep x 24" high. I'm sure on the tek lights but don't know if i should get the 6x54 or the 8x54 tek light, i was told that the 8x54 is 19" deep and that i would loose some lighting from overhang. would 6x54 be enough for anything down the road, or should i spend the extra 80 bucks and go with the 8x54????
Also, since from the beginning i won't have any corals, can i just run a few lights on the tek light system, i mean, can i only turn one switch one (which will run half of the lights) and only hook up say 2 bulbs instead of the full 3 or 4. What i'm getting at i guess is if there is a missing bulb, will the others still work or do they all have to work per ballast???
