Going for this (pic) or T5s!

I would use this as it is flexible, clippable to tank or something near by, and for metal halide it's not too much $:

Just my opinion.

Nice fixture however it would have to be mounted on one of the sides. I would use a hanging MH unit.

I'm doing a 12x12x12 cube also, and am looking at the Aqua Medic 70 watt halide pendant. I'd like to use T5s but the shortest T5 fixtures I've seen are 24 inches long.
