I'm looking at 12x54w T5 units/retros. Looks don't matter much, my main concern is PAR. pricing isnt that different, so I'm not concerned so much with it, just want the most light for my corals. This will be on a 5'x3' tank that is 26" deep (has 4" eurobracing so the 80w T5s would be a waste, as eurobracing would block much of the extra light). Thoughts on which unit to go with between Geisemann Matrix, Sfiligoi Stealth, and Icecap retros? I can't tell if the Giesemann or Sfiligoi overdrive the bulbs, so I'm worried they don't produce as much PAR. Also, I like the ATI powermodules, but the 12-bulb units arent available in the US yet.
