i dont know if i want to go t5 or go led for my 45cube. can i get some of your ideas on what to use. looking to graw sps corals.
 
i got some what of a budget but not to worried about it i will spend the extra money if need be. i had to order my tank i got it from reef savvy
 
I would do an ati 8 bulb powermodule. That will give you great coverage front to back and top to bottom

If you're looking to go LED and do not want to DIY a single EcoTech Radion should do the trick.
 
Great suggestion from above. Either would be fine but if you want a true custom set up, I would do T5s as supplements and LEDs as the mains. That's a good combo as most agree that the T5s make corals pop and bring out their true colors. Both will provide excellent lighting. Also, the LEDs can be dimmed if needed.
 
6 bulb ati sunpower is perfectly fine for those dimensions. I asked this question to the zeoheads that use predominantly t5's and supplement led's for the shimmer if you like that
 
what do you know about the skkye 90 tablet. woudl that work on a 45 cube and give me good coverage.
