Official entry: I’d love a K7 Pro III so I can set my frag tank up. I have the tank already but just don’t have a light for it yet

Been looking at these to light my new tank.. I think it would take about 6-8 of the k7 v3 :astonished-face: Would love to see one in person
There is nothing wrong with putting 6 of them on a tank

What’s the foot print of your tank? Mine is 3ft x 6ft and 2ft deep
It’s the standard rimmed 125g. So 72x18 and 21 tall.
I ended up using 6 of the lights because my tank has the plastic braces from the front to back, so I was avoiding shadowing.

I've got the same tank as @Gtinnel and only have 3... You can definitely see the shadowing in pictures

When I first setup my tank I used 5 lights over 6 feet of tank and saw shadows from the braces that I didn’t like. I then ended up winning a 6th light so now I have a light every foot, which is overkill but I like it.
Honestly if not for the plastic braces I would’ve probably used 4 lights over my tank.
