Lighting for IM lagoon 25? Need help choosing

[Joeganja]

I'm debating on what light I should get for my shallow 24"x24" tank. It's going to be a dominant sps tank so I don't need strip LED lighting. I'm debating on either a 6 or 8 bulb t5 fixture by ATI or the new Eco tech marine xr15w G4 but I'm afraid it might no be able to cover the entire tank. Help?

The two aren't connected....you can grow SPS just fine with strip lights or spot lights. Not relevant.

I'd throw a Orbit Marine Pro solution in the mix of what you're considering.

Right now you are considering two very very different kinds of light – practically apples and oranges. Lots of folks that like one type of light, don't seem to like the other much at all.

Do you have any pre-existing preferences for T5 light or halide light?
