Lighting for 90g... help.

[moepenny68]

So Im having a hard time picking the right light...
Id like to keep some sps. I have a 150w mh on my 16g now and have some sps in there I would like to transfer.
I was thinking:
Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights 8-54w or Aquatic Life Light 48" T5 HO 6 Lamp 4 Lunar.
Any other ideas? Id like to stay around $500 (so the wife doesn't shoot me

)

For $500 I'd look into the 8-bulb TEK fixtures. They're pretty good for the price and better than the Nova.

Ok I dont want to have to buy a new light in a year so what if I spent $800. Ideas? Any MH with T5s that people have been happy with?

dont go cheap on lighting. u will end up paying more down the road. for a 90 gallon, get either 2 x 250mh or 6 t5 bulbs with reflectors. take a look at ati sunpower for $525 without bulbs or tek elite for about the same.
