Help me on a light choice!

Will be starting a new build shortly and want your guys opinion on a new light(s). It will be a mixed reef system. Have it narrowed down to a few different setups.

The tank will be a DSA 105 48x24x21

That's interesting...

It's awesome but they are kind of expensive but if you have the money awesome looking product. It's all ati guts. I want one but it won't fit my reef breeders light. I'm kinda picky I don't want things to look like a fire hazard. I prefer a off the shelf light.

I have a hydra 52 and I like it but I believe in hybrid fixtures. I'll be adding some t5 suplimentation to it as soon as I figure out a way to do it without it looking like a science experiment. In the meantime I'm in no rush because the ai is doing a fine job on its own. After owning this fixture I will never go with a fixture that can't control each individual color. I have mine paired with a director and it's working out great. That being said if I were in your shoes I'd probably go with the ati hybrid unless you have a canopy where you could hide everything then I'd consider a couple hydra 52s and some t5 suplimentation. Though the price tag of the ati might push me in the direction of the 52/t5.

ATI 6 bulb and an LED strip of your choice. I prefer the ones from 21 LED USA.

I love how leds make my corals look. I also like my 6 bulb T5's. If i could afford to have both, especially the ATI Powermodule i would def go that route. I would love to own the Radion Pro's with all those bells and whistles but i personally would go with the mixture of bulbs n Led's. That Triton hybrid looks pretty awesome as well. Just seems the corals would love the mixture of the 2, especially if it's fully controllable. Good luck with your purchase. Hopefully you can get some feedback from people that actually own some of the lights you have mentioned

gar732 did you check the link I posted. It's a little spendy but it would work with your hydra 52 and your Like me you want your lighting to look good so it a very pretty fixture. My other thought was a floating canopy
