    I had the aquaticlife 6 lamp version, and it was great, what kind of corals do you plan on keeping it under?

    How's about an ATI sunmodule, similar price based on sizes.

    I have the AquaticLife fixture. It's great except over half of my moonlights are out already and it's only 6 months old. I'm sure when I call the company they will replace them for free. I had, in May, a problem with the timer system, and they shipped replacement parts quickly and for free.

    between those two I'd also +1 on the AquaticLife.

    But like the pan mentioned, look into ATI fixtures like the Sun Power or Power Module, ATI are hands down the best T5 fixtures out there. If I had to spend an extra $100 or so I'd always choose the ATI. Just make sure you can hang it as they don't have mounts for their fixtures.
