The cabinet for my 160 mixed reef aquarium will be ready next week. So I now need to finalize the lighting.

There will be a 14" canopy, with a flip up front. I plan to do primarily LED's, and supplementing it with some T5 retrokits.

The tank has bracing on it that divide the tank into three sections: 24x24 in the middle, and 18x24 on the sides. Tank depth will be 26". I've decided to do an LED unit in each section.

The poll has the three choices I've narrowed down too. Please vote, and let me know any thoughts or wisdom.

Primary drivers for me are performance for mixed reef, ability to adjust and quiet operation.
