1) I would go for the 6 bulb Tek light. Since you get to pick out the 6 bulbs you want, you won't need to get any extra. Grim has stated, I believe, that he really doesn't like any of the bulbs on the Current. If I bought it, I would replace all six.

2) I don't know if a 150 X 2 MH system is enough for the height of your tank. You need to find that out, you may have to upgrade to the 250watts.

3) but now you want to spend $650 for a lighting system. The 6 bulb ATI is $739, with no heat. Either suspend it or put it on 2 2x4's, stained oak comes to mind.
So now I would buy the ATI light

It all comes down to what you want to do.

Good luck

Marty
Great, I'm set. Tek it is. Also, it's the perfect size for the Oceanic Tech 70 I've just discovered as the euro-bracing only actually leaves 12"w open at the top, so the ATI 6 bulb would be too wide.
If I have to throw all the Current bulbs away, it makes no sense either.
Thanks alot for the help!
