I am setting up a 36" wide tank (lps and soft only) and from this this thread, it seems that I'll get as much out of a 24" fixture with 4 T5's and 1 hqi as I would a 36" fixture with 2x150 hqi and 2 T5 fixtures. What do you guys think? From what I've researched the 14k (giesemann or phoenix)hqi is definitiely what I'll be going with.

How long is the tank and when you say "fixture" are you referring to an off the shelf combination HQI + T5 fixture (and which one) or are you talking about a DIY, seperate reflector for the halide and T5 Retro kit that you build yourself?
