IMO-leave LED alone until people figure it out. Go with the 8x24w sunpower. Just bought one from saltysupply and its phenomenal! Ive always liked T5s but was temped away by the AI sols...needless to say I wasnt happy with the results. I went back to a proven winner! the 24" will be perfect over 30" of space. as it is, my fixture is basically the size of my tank and could be used over a larger tank.

COLORS ARE AWESOME...nothing like T5. Ive ran 250w radiums + AIs, this by far is the best color and still has that dusk-dawn effect. Theres nothing like the LEDs dimmable dusk-dawn effect but the ATI is a small compromise for the excellent results. I will say, I liked my radiums color and growth was good but it was difficult for me not to have the dusk/dawn effect...plus the ATI looks killer over my cube in the living room.
