Lighting opinion

[Asmoa]

I have a 36Lx24Wx22D aquarium that I'm looking to keep around 60-70% SPS.
I'm debating 2 different lighting styles and I'm just looking for some input/opinions.

1. 6 Bulb T-5 light 36" - ATI
2. (1-250W/4-24W T5) 24" Pendant - Giesmann or Cube Sun

I'm not worried about heat or bulb replacement.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

24"w I'd go ATI 8 bulb.

+1 on the 8 bulb

Will the extra 2 bulbs make that big of a difference? Just because of how wide the tank is?

I had 6 bulbs on my 60x18x20 , covered well, and if your trying to grow sps you will want/need the extra bulbs. This comes from multiple posts and questions on RC. Plus you have more options on the bulbs you can use...more = better IMO.
