    I would at least go fr a T5 unit if your going for a reef tank. This is coming from someone who has a lonely Orbit 20" PC sintting in a box, replaced by a T5 unit.

    I have 2 36" 250W MH Outer Orbit over my 135g. I LOVE it...With the 2 lamps I was able to get 4 MH (versus the 96" fixture..only has 2). There really isnt anything I can not grow in it...and I like the T5 bulbs that come with it. Plus it is nice to have the 2 color LED's I only use the blue ones but it is nice to have the options.
