Yea I am going to be using the 250w halide. You were going to be using 2? I thought I was over kill with the 1 lol. I always wondered if the halides were one of the causes I was having with algae issues in my previous tank even when changing bulbs which is why I was hesitant but looking back now I'm sure it wasn't the issue. If I was to get a new fixture I would definitely go with a 6 or 8 bulb T5 great choice.Don't know if I missed it earlier on but have you decided between the metal halide or led yet? If not you have my vote for the halide. Was going to use the 2x250w halides I have leftover for my 60 cube build but decided on an 8x24w T5 for efficiency purposes.
