Get an ATI Sunpower in the 60" version. It will work better for you and you will have less bulbs to replace each year. Not to mention you will get to choose your bulbs from the get go. With the Aquatic Life you will get their junk stock bulbs and need to change them within a couple months. That will cost you another $300 right there.

If your tank is 24" front to back, go with an 8 bulb setup. If it is less than that then 6 bulbs will be fine.
