Aquantics vs Sunlight Tek T5 fixture

[Phanman]

Hi guys,

I need some advice as to what lighting fixture to buy. I got a 120 gallon tank from a fellow canreefer and I only want to buy 1 lighting fixture that I dont need to upgrade down the road. Well until i get a larger fish tank, lol.

The tank is 60L 18W 26H with canopy and stand. The lighting fixture will be hidden from view due to the canopy so looks isnt a factor. As well, the canopy has 2 built in exhaust fans so heat isnt an issue either.

Im deciding on a 48'' fixture either going with Aquactinics (constellation) or the sunlight tek T5 fixture. The only difference i see between the two units is the Aquaantics is 7 bulbs and the sunlight unit is 6 bulbs. I know the ballast is slightly better in the aquactinics and it also has a built in cooling fan (which i dont need). Both are 54W...

The Aquactinics is priced at $700ish and the sunlight tek fixture is $420... is it REALLY worth it? I want to keep mainly SPS corals and fish of course.

Any advice or opinions would be GREATLY appreciated.
