I hear ya bro, it's a good thing I like to build stuff.

I did the math on buying manufactured fixtures and there was no way in helz the wife would go for that.

I spoiled my wife so bad at Xmas , I get a free pass here on lighting.
What i have decided thus far is that it definately will be LED. Just waitng for quotes to come in from 4 of the reliable vendors on here, then it's decision time.
Judging by poll results Radion is the most liked so far, so it comes down to a price choice.

Here's some Radion 411, also over a 4' 90gal system...he's also tested the AIs and ecoxotics...

That's the one that really started me thinking Radion, tank full of corals and 2 fixtures run lengthways.
