Yes, Stone's is the top of the line, but I too remember the thread on RC where they compared a TEK unit to Metal Halides. I have Metal Halides over one of my 90s, but am very seriously considering changing all my tanks that aren't overly deep over to t5s. The 50 gallon will be getting a 6 bulb unit..

well yeah, but I bet if you compared a top of the line halide unit (like a sfigoloi)or one of the better combos a la sanjay, you might find a different result to that comparison.
Maybe not, but certainly the RC~ thread you guys remember was far from definitive.

Over my 90 is a 6 bulb. I thought about getting the 8 bulb but like your tank with the eurobracing around the tank the outside 2 bulbs would be somewhat wasted and would really just spill more light over the edge on the front and light the back wall of the tank.

The 8 bulbs are more designed for tanks like the 120 gallon with the 24" depth front to back.
