Hi folks,

I am contemplating what equipment to purchase for my 125 gal. marine tank which I am transitioning into a reef setup. My overhead space is limited and I want the flexibilty to keep animals with high light requirements later if all goes well. I want to hang the fixture, so that feeding and maintenance does not involve lifting the light out of the way. My estimate is that the fixture will han approx. 14-18" above the water surface. I'm leaning toward a combination light 60-72" with HQI metal halides, compact fluorescents, and blue moon lights each on their own power cord for simulating dawn, dusk, day, night. The fixture must be compact and include fans for cooling. What is out there that meets these specs? Thanks very much.
