Tek lights are very good. What are you planning on keeping? 8 T5s is a lot of light (if it even fits over a 90g).

4 Ft. 8 lamp is 19" wide. Tank is only 18" wide, and a little over 17" internal. with TEK the 6 lamp is probably a wiser choice and plenty of light and 15" or 16" wide and like $500 and I think that's with bulbs.

The Aquactinics 5 bulb (TX5) is supposed to be a great choice. Better choice than the TEK by many accounts.
