    are you looking for a light with 4 t5 and 250 watt halides? or a light with 250+ watts of t5?

    As I posted in your other thread, IMO, the Maristar would be the best option.

    sorry guys i should have given more details about my tank, its 48x24x24 and i would like everything one day as clams sps and anything that would require the most light with the least amount of heat even though my house stays at about 76 with my 6 t5 lit tank stays right at 78 with no heaters and no chiller.
