I think an 8-bulb T5 setup would be best. It would give you the coverage and depth penetration. For this I think your best bet would be a Tek retro with icecap reflectors. I had a Tek fixture and I liked it. It would take some research, but ATI has a new T5 fixture out. They make an 8 bulb fixture. Check out reefgeek they have a good T5 selection.

Why not use them all? I'm setting up a new tank (48lx24wx18t) w/ (2) 250w MH, (2) 4' VHOs, and (2) 4' T5s.
