I am in the process of setting up the following:

65G Reef Ready AGA tank (36"x18"x24").
SRO 1000 int Skimmer
20G long sump.
400 gph return pump
No ref..

I am wondering what lighting setup would work with my 24" deep tank? Would a 6 bulb T5 work? What about a Ecoxotic Pamorama fixture (only one 23.5" on a 36" tank?????? I am looking for a setup that will support LPS and softies no matter what and will be able to support SPS in a year or so.

BTW, anyone have any experience with the reefbrite strips?

I ran 8 t-5's on my 65, but they were cheaper fixtures. When I upgraded to my 125 I went with 6 t-5 powered by icecap ballasts and ati bulbs retro kit and my par with 6 bulbs is way higher.
