A single one 36" for a 210, I assume you mean two of these? Two would work fine. I have a similar light for my 75... it works well for that but it is 48"... (I like the brightness of the lights.)
The question is do you want to hide it away, or do you mind hanging fluorescents IE is cheaper the best? Since personally if the light isn't going to be hidden in a canopy I would just buy a cheap hanging fluorescent light fixture and then put in some good bulbs (not home depot bulbs, go to a pet store, or a light store that has other types of T12 48 inch 40 watt bulbs).

Yah I get you. I just wanted to make sure... So I really think the two different setups will have about the same amount of light, though the ones you are looking at can be put right on the tanks lids which will keep most of the light in the tank. (By far the nicer way.)
The bulbs cost more to replace, and are harder to find, though I think the 36" will be easier to find then the 48" that I was looking for when I lost a bulb.
Heck worse comes to worse you end up just having to buy one more later one and putting all 3 strips diagonal.
(I don't have any white sand, only black with the same type of light setup, but the lights are very bright.)

PC's... I run VHO's on my current tank, but they will be changed to PC on my new tank. Either way both are super bright and look good. The PC come with a more finished look, where they VHO's need a canopy or custom hood.
