8 tubes ZON, i was thinking 4blue plus 3 coral and 1 purple.
I have very less experiences with t5 bulbs. Do my combo will perform 14-18k look?

What size fixture do you recommend for 4'x2'x21"(h) SPS dominated tank? Having a hard time deciding on 36" or 48" fixture. Will 4 bulbs give you enough coverage front to back?

48" and 4 bulb will be fine. I'm using the 4 bulb 24" on my 60g cube (2x2) and it is perfect coverage wise. It'll be mainly SPS as well.

Anyone know if ATI will update it's software/hardware on the controller brain? I am tired of the fixture loosing its setting everytime there is a mini power outage (this is often in my neighborhood during the summer times). I feel very unsafe if I was to be away for a few days and come back to a bleached tank.
