Guy, those are nice, but you won't like the color, plus you will be limited in your halide selection because those are DE. Go with mogul base and luminarc. Paciffic garden supply can build you a nice hanging light rack using the luminarc and VHO if you don't want to build it yourself

I've seen those in action on several different tanks and to be honest, the color doesn't grab me. T5 doesn't florescent like VHO can IMO.
But on the other hand you might love the color, I think its just personal preference.

I am not dead set on that one Tom, but I want something clean looking as well as good light. I spent that money on the tank, now I don't want to put up one of my usual cobbled together accessories.
My lighting has never been what I wanted it to be, always trying to stuff something into the hood I have.
Nuuze had a cool fixture over his new tank, don't remember the name though. Should have wrote it down
I wish there was a place to go look at this stuff nearby.

Guy,
The fixture you saw on my tank is the Infinity XR4 made my Sfiligoi.
When I had the System 120 setup I was using the XR4 2-250w DE & 4 - 54w T5 with ACLS dimmable halide ballasts.
I chose Sfiligoi because of it's lumenarc like reflectors inside of a fixture.
What you saw on my System 160XL is an XR4 2 - 400w SE & 4 - 54wT5.
Here's another pic when it was setup
I think Trevor S in the MARS forum is using that fixture you mention on his System 120XL. There's also Elos and Giesemann you can check out. Like northbay-reefer mentions, too bad some of these manufactures don't VHO or T5 options.
