ATI Sunpower or Tek Elite??
Just looking for some or opinions advice on this. Just upgraded to a 75 bow and wanted to do T5's. I'm only thinking of keeping some zoos, lps, an anemone and one day trying my hand at some montis. I've been looking back and forth over the 2 and need some help picking one. Also for what I want to keep how many bulbs do you suggest 4 x 54w or 6 x 54w? Any advice?

Sunpower in the 6 bulb but run at least one actinic if not 2 to help lower PAR a little bit.

The tank is 48x18x20. I see the ATI 6 seems the choice, so I take it they work great. As far as bulb combination goes I'm open to sugestions there as well. I'm upgrading from PC's and never really liked the look of them.. I'm looking for a nice crisp white look, still natural but I do want enough actinic's to really make the corals/fishes color pop, almost flouresce. I used to just leave actinic's on and marvel at the light show. Also I've seen tanks where the purple coraline really takes off. Any lighting trick to that? Of course pics are most def welcome.
