Alright guys I have a rimless 50 breeder (36X18X18) that I am going to be setting up in the next couple of weeks. My current tank has LEDs but I want to go back to T5 for this tank. I am thinking about the following fixtures 4 bulb ATI sunpower 24"; 6 bulb ATI sunpower 24"; or 6 bulb 36" TEK elite. This tank will by SPS dominated with a clam here and there and some LPS on the ends.

Please post your suggestions and rational. Thanks in advance and if you have a similar set up even on a larger tank (like 48" fixture over a 60" tank etc.) feel free to post a pic.
 
I would suggest the ATI sunpower 4x24. More than enough light for the 50 breader. The 6 bulb would work too but just adjust your height and light cycle. either way you go I am a ati sunpower fan. The cooling on these fixtures really good. Just my two cents.
