Aquarium Lighting

[Menez]

My current 75g setup uses 6x 54w T5HO lighting, I am currently upgrading to a 125g tank and do not know what lighting to use, I was thinking MHx2 plus T5HO, what do you guys suggest?

Thanks.

I'm guessing you'll be running a 4 foot long fixture? If so I ran a 250/150/250 watt halide setup on my 100 display and it was awesome. Too much heat and electricity though. I just yesturday switched to a ATI Sunpower fixture that also does 6X54 watt t-5 bulbs which actually seems to give it more output but I lost the shimmer effect as well ast the electricity cost and heat.
