The 48" AcuaticLife HID Metal Halide Fixture??

Im interested in either some T5's with either 6 or 8 bulbs or some metal halide fixture. What would you guys recommend as far as T5's and MH.

I currently have a 55 gallon reef but im upgrading to a 90-110. Some of my other options for fixtures are:

-Current USA Nova Extreme Pro Fixture
-AquaticLife T5 HO Fixture
-Ice Cap Reef Illuminations
-ATI
 
They are good fixtures according to the owners on RC.I don't think they have been on the market long enough to establish a good or bad reputation long term.

If you have the $$$$,then go with the ATI otherwise all of them will work.The choice of MH or T5 is a personal choice unless your tank is really deep(30'' or more) then MH is the better option..
 
I have the AquatLife T5 fixtures on my 55. I like that I can add more lights later as they are sold as add-on fixtures. The only issue I have is that they don't flip up. Makes maintenance more difficult. I may suspend them from the ceiling when I move to the 90 gal.
