Lighting for my 60Gal

[mynameisfish]

Currently I have a dual 48" T5 strip on it, 1daylight, 1 actinic and now I am lookin to add on more T5 lights to my setup.

My budget is around 200-250ish.

That said, What do you all think of this one?

Also, Someone told me I get better results with buying 4 of these fixtures instead of one unit. Something about more Par rather than more watts.

Does any of that sound legit to any of you? Or should I go with the first one by Current 4x54w. Any recomendations?

Thx for readin

Now im looking at
http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/product_info.php?cPath=71_136&products_id=1423

Either that 4 bulb fixture or theres a 6 bulb for $300.

I mainly want to get good growth on my frogspawns and Hammers.

Anything anyone?

Thanks!

First off don't buy anything Catalina...................utter crap!!!!

Ever looked at the Sun Blaze fixtures? Not the prettiest fixtures, but the internals are good. Ali uses the exact same fixtures throughout his shop!

I decided to go with a 4x54 watt T5 fixture by Wavepoint.

The unit is built like a tank and appears to be a reliable, safe, and good looking light fixture. The reflectors are quite impressive also. My reef is so much brighter now and im very satisfied with my purchase. Yes!

Gonna take some pics tomorrow or the next and post them on the "Show off your tank" section and use it to see how my coral growth goes.

SteveOhh - I did check out those fixtures and they look like a good bang for the buck. May get one for a frag tank I plan to add to my system.
Thanks for your input.
