What kind of lighting are you using?

How about LED's? many people use these. Also PC +T5 compbo is very common.

I love my Solaris 20K.

Using HO, T-5 bulbs currently. My sps corals seems to be doing fine so far. However my new cube is designed to be lit by a single halide and I figure on a 250w. Thinking about HQI pendant, {cough,cough}, but may just go with the normal 250w PFO ballast from JL and a 250w SA 10K bulb. It had the highest rating behind Iwasaki, in recent tests and I,ve already used their 14K bulbs.

None of the above... I have the new Solaris LED fixture. Started out with it (no point in wasting money on intermediate fixtures, I knew I'd want to upgrade), but haven't progressed to the more demanding corals yet... that will come with time. The tank is only six months old.

I use Power Compacts (2x96W+2 LED Moonlights) over my 20" tall 55G tank. All softies and LPS right now, so it seems ok.

What I don't like about it is...well, obviously it limits me as to what I can keep. And the bulbs are hella expensive if you buy them from the LFS. So, instead of spending $100 on a MH bulb every year, I'm spending $160 on PC bulbs.

Obviously, aesthetics play a huge part in why and how we keep our aquariums. Power Compacts aren't, in my opinion, as aesthetically pleasing as either MH or T5 (I've never seen the Solaris in action).

I am using PFO Solaris H4 LED. It does not appear to be on your list of available lights.
