Best T5 lighting for SPS?

[Reefhaven]

i switching from leds to T5 and wondering which ones are good and not to spendy out in the market. Have a 210 gallon tank. The dimensions are 72x24x29. Mostly sps and a few acans and blastos. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bulbs or fixtures???
Personally you cannot beat ATI products.

I would highly recommend the ATI SunPower, the active cooling in it gives your bulbs a longer life span so it'll save you money over time.

The complete fixture. Was also looking at the ati sunpower 60'' 6x80. Too bad they don't make a dimmable version in the 60inch light. Just wanted to see if there are any other out there that was good and reasonably priced.

I personally think you dont need dimmable. The dimming will just shorten the bulb life.

Agree 100%

If you need less light, just raise the fixture away from the tank. Once the fixture is mounted, it is super easy to adjust the height (ATI Fixture, mounting hardware included with fixture).

You should get the 8 bulb for that size tank

You don't need dimmable no, but I enjoy my dimmable because it has a built in timer and one cable makes it super neat - I don't use the dimming feature.

ETA: ATI all the way, they have a dimmable option in 8x80.
