Lighting a 60x36x21 with T5 -- suggestions.

[epleeds]

Just wondering what T5 fixtures people were using. I have looked at the ATI and the Sfiligoi units...I was just wondering what other ones are out there.

also, the tank will be a mix of LPS and some select SPS pieces. Should i go with a 48" unit or do the 60".

any input would be appreciated.

thanks..

48 would short you 6" on each side, and considering your bracing, might not be a bad option. If going T5, Id definitely go with ATI, especially after hearing the nightmares some guys have had with SFiligoi fixtures. Maybe check into a giesemann matrix, also.

Sfilogoi are great fixtures. SuperTs had one on his 225g and it was awesome. No issues at all.

Nicest T5 fixture I have seen ... 12x54w Stealth would cover your dimensions no problem.

Not trying discredit you Jflip. Just letting him know how Tim's worked.

No worries sir, I know of a lot of people who have had nothing but great things to say about Sfiligoi. The main issue is if you DO have a problem, their customer service is awful (from what Ive read).

You are right about the ATI powermodule. Everyone using them seems to really have great results.

Between that and the stealth I think you can't go wrong.

Reefgeek has the ATI PM for real cheap. Somewhere around $1500 for a 10x80w 60" fixture with bulbs.

Ati 60" for sure

I picked up my 60" 10x80 ATI today, nicest fixture i have ever seen. The owner of my LFS was super impressed, first one he has seen. Said It will be his choice for a t5 fixture in his home if he decides on t5s
