Well if i stick to T5's i am stuck with only a few options due to my euro bracing:

ATI Sun power 6 bulb 13.5" wide (my #1 choice right now due to price)
constellation 7 bulb 14" wide
power module 8 bulb 17.5" wide (this fixture is pushing it and a bit pricey for me)

But I really want to try the MH lighting. My tank has been running on T5's for the past year. I honestly want to see if i can get any improvements in color and growth
