Recommend lighting for 36x36x24 rimless cube?
I'm thinking of (1) 250W HM and (4) 24W T5 fixture. So far I only found one, the Aqua Photon Plus. Is there another similar layout fixtures out there? I'm also open to any other suggestion; LED, T5, MH.

On a tank that size I would throw a 400watt Radium on it in a nice big reflector.
Or use a 10 bulb ATI Powermodule. Just my thought
