Looking for a fixture for a 24" cube. Interested in a fixture with 8x T-5's, or 4x T-5's PLUS a MH. Moon lights preferred. Want something clean and sleek. Any suggestions?

ATI makes some nice pendants. I have a Nova Extreme. It's great, but if I could do it over, I'd get a pendant hanging fixture. I'd just like a little more room between the fixture and the tank than what the plastic support legs offer. It's also great for maintenance to be able to raise the fixture by wire instead of taking the whole thing off.

check out the geissemann hqi/t5 set-up at marine depot. I don't know if money is an issue, but for 900, you get the 250w MH bulb, fixture, and 4-t5's. And geissemann is a very good fixture.
