MY tank is 6ftx2x2 im looking at a 72" fixture that has 3 150 watt Mh's 3 54watt t5s...

That sufficient for the tank? im looking to keep bta maybe carpet nem + SPS..

thanks in advance

make sure the MH are double ended... more reflection and more output. i would go for 1 more t5 as well, just for the even-ness to it. plus with more t5's come more possibilities for the look you want. also... somewhat new on the market (and this is what i will do when i upgrade to my 90) is to use par38 LEDs in conjunction with t5's. energy as well as cost for replacement bulbs are much cheaper. i would do a bit of research on them they are worth a look. the 80 degree optics have the same output as a 150 watt double ended MH and covers 2 feet of tank.

That will not be enough for sps unless at the very top you are gonna want 250's

Ok I'm goin to pass on the fixture! Thanks guys! And I've seen those par38s on action! Sweet color! Maybe I should save up a bit more and go for LEDs!
