What are the dimension of your tank. ATI makes some high end fixtures. Aquaactinics has a 5 bulb with over driven bulbs. Both are great fixtures.

ATI powermodule is probably the best T5 fixture u could get right now. Icecap 660 ballast is what will overdrive your lamps but if money isn't the issue then ATI is the way to go

ATI is great. Sfiligoi Stealth is worth a look as well.

anything over 6 bulbs, you will need to get the PM. individual modules and 2 bulbs per fan are the first that pops up in my head.
