I put up a 120 last year. I use a hamilton mh fixture with two mogul 250w14k and 2 110 w vho. I added 3 lunar lights. I like the richness of vho supplementation more than pc. Haven't tried T5s. Lighting is like choosing a flavor of ice cream./ I'm sure you'll get many opinions.

The answer is all ready there for you. Just do the research, completely open ended questions like yours, should not be answered, your answers are there, just do the work and research. Search and search, then when you can drill down to specific questions, you will get the answers you are looking for.
