T5 lighting isnt much cheaper, if at all once you're done buying individual reflectors, bulbs, ballasts and endcaps.

In any event, IMO Reefgeek.com has the widest selection of T5 goods.

Analog channels take a up a lot more bandwith than digitial or even HD channels. If I remember correctly, for every analog channel that is taken offline, they can add 7-9 digital channels or 2-3...

Yes, its not problem. The top is eurobraced to avoid having to use a center brace on the 90 and 120 tech tanks. Other than that, treat it the same as any other tank with trim.
