Which Lighting To Go With?

#3 is the way to go!!! LED's really make colors POP! I think this would be your best option. They also last longer and do not produce nearly as much heat as the MH's do!

You really can't go wrong with the Sfiligoi fixtures. I just switched from MH and VHO's to a all T-5 Sfiligoi fixture and love it! I'd do all T-5's or the T-5/LED fixture.

The Benefit of the LEDS would be shimmer and no heat. Thats a benefit because the room they will be going into gets really hot.

I seen your build thread and it looks awesome! yeah I was thinking about going with LEDs for less heat and shimmer.

It's around 6 weeks.

How long do they take to receive the fixtures?

I didn't incorporate them into my fixture as I already had four 24" Reefbrite Blue LED strips that I was hoping to add somehow to that tank. Now that I have the fixture and light rack, there is really not a good way to add them, so I'm kinda S.O.L ;)
