1) ATI 8 bulb
2) ATI 6 bulb
3) Aquactinics Constellation 7 bulb
4) Tek 8 bulb
5) Aquactinics 5 bulb
6) Tek 6 bulb
7) Nova extreme pro 6 bulb

Are there any t5 fixtures I missed, and can buy I am not a do it your selfer, so I need a finished product.
Now with the 8 bulb lights. If it is to much light, could you use , 2 or 3 of the lamps and put in low par bulbs. Just going for a look?

Again thank you for your time

Marty
I'd do the 120 with either the 8 lamp ATI or the Constellation. Both would be good for the tank. There are some other T5 fixtures out there but I have no idea how well they perform. I personally think one Actinic lamp is plenty of
