That's about the same lamp combo that I'll be running with 8 bulbs. Grim suggested the following:
Front
ATI Blue Plus
UVL Super Actinic
UVL Aquasun
ATI Aquablue
ATI Aquablue
UVL Aquasun
UVL Super Actinic
ATI Blue Plus
And he also said that I could use the procolor instead of the Aquasun or just add one in place of an aquablue.
I'll probably add the procolor instead of the aquasun since I like the tank to be a little more blue.
Have you seen any pictures of the Fiji Purple lamps? I'm undecided about those as well.
If you don't mind, where did you order you bulbs from?

Responding via Treo, hope this works.
Chris wright and Edward - Thanks, and I can't wait to get home and see it lit over the tank either.
Chrisrush - I like your lamp combination. I've seen the KZ Fiji Purple on line & it's an awesome lamp, but quite expensive. I got my lamps from ReefGeek, for free actually, as it was part of the deal for anyone ordering the Powermodule before May. I got the Pro Color since the Geek told me it was similar to the Fiji Purple. Time will tell.
robster - No link, I just tied a heavy object to a string for my plumb bob.

you need the 8x36 inch fixture for your tech tank....
Dudester that light is sick of course, i bet your glad you waited for 10 bulb.
if you check out that ati suncolor thread in the equipment forum fijiblue has posted some pics of his t5 array and i must say he has the ultimate bulb combo suggested by Grim of course.
More pics please.

I think you can get a few more T5's in there. The ATI Powermodule are a very nice looking fixture.

Hi Everybody, I just got back into town. Gotta go to the office and get some work done, then get home and hang that Powermodule! Oh, guess I better kiss the wife and kid first 
.
KPM - I got the light from ReefGeek. If you want one, better place the order now. I ordered mine in March!
GSMguy - The 10-bulb is a must for my 30" deep tank. Now that I'll have to hang it a little front of center, that really comes into play and I'm sure the rear of the tank would have suffered a lot if I only had 8 lamps. I now think this will be a positive having the fixture slightly toward the front, since now I'm even more confident that any clams and LPS I have on the substrate in the front of the display will get their fair share of light. Maybe there will be less coralline on the back to scrape as well.(?)
Is this the thread you were referring to? That's a nice combination that fijiblue is using, and he's using an 8-lamp fixture. I think mine will also turn out just fine, but if it's not it'll be easy enough to modify.
bleedingthought, Bax, RoBolton, pmjfuture, erics3000 - Thanks everybody!
GMFett - The mirror's been gone for a long time now. When she saw it hanging behind the tank she agreed that it looked ridiculous, so it's been moved to a more appropriate location. I'm REALLY glad it's gone.

Thats the Thread. his combo just looks perfect to me, similar to some of the euro all t5 tanks.
i dont know about less scraping the glass but less light=less algae so it makes sense.
Cant wait to see pics of it hanging.
did you have any algae before putting the Zeo reactor online? any less now?
