    im working on a 26 gallon bowfront reef tank, and i was looking for some opinions on lighting. the fixtures i would need would be 24" and i really dont want to spend more than 500 on them. The Aqualight pro 150 watt is on sale at drs foster and smith for around 300, but ive also seen a MH fixture on ebay for 175 (odyssea or something like that). And in looking through all the threads i see a lot about TEK lights.

    I want to keep SPS corals if that makes the decision any easier...

    i dont have a chiller either, and im not too great at DIY stuff...
    the dimensions are 24x15x21

    How deep is your tank? Aqualight pro is nice but they are 24x15.
