Help With Lighting

[shaggyboiler]

I'm just north of Indy and was wondering if you could help me with some lighting. I've recently got a new 93gal cube tank 30x30x24 The problem I'm finding is most T5 units are only 24 or 36".

So what would you suggest for a new lighting system? Should I forget t5's and go MH? I'm not at all against MH. Or look at LED?

Are you looking for a fixture that sets on the tank, or something you can hang above the tank?

Hanging would be great.

Personally, I am still a big MH fan. Having said that, I really like T5 and LED as well. Are there any heat issues you might need to worry about with MH? What about energy consumption costs? If neither of those are an issue, then I would think MH might be your best bet in terms of coloratio and growth if the system will be focused on SPS.
