    Hello, i'm new to actually posting something. but, i was looking at new lighting for my reef. the tank is a 50breeder, so it's 36"x18"x18. I have 400 watts of MH above it right now, but want to get a fixture with more "flexibility" as far as actinics and such go. I want to get either the Hamilton Technology Cebu Sun 2x175w with 4x39w T5HO combo. Or the ATI Powermodule 6x39w Dimmable. I know i'll lose the shimmer with the powermodule so that is the only thing holding me back. Any advise would be appreciated, would like to be able to keep anything i want, i do have some clams and sps, however mostly LPS. Thank you
