do u need that many lights? i would assume u're going High Tec with Co2 and ferts if u want that much light over a planted tank?

By golly, thats a joke. You'll be running into thick green waves of algae if you havn't got the nutrients + CO2 to go with those lights. Plus your fish will be dazzled haha, thats ridiculous. Yes in the right set-up that would be fine, i love high light set ups, but seems a little bit OTT for my liking. Looks really tacky IMO also. Looks like the cheap hong kong imports i've seen over here.
