I don't think there is a 10 bulb T5 on the market here? There is the 8x54 Sunlight Supply T5 but you prob know that.

Are you looking for 36" or 48" fixture? Either way ATI does 10 bulb in both sizes. Check out reefgeek.com

36" deep?

I'd go MH only way you're goign to get light all the way down 3 feet!

3' deep? i wouldnt try T5s. Mini is right. I thought you said you were going to get a 20" deep tank?

that link is to a Tek light. Not a bad light at all. however I know ati makes a 10bulb and aquatinics makes an 8 bulb both are better fixtures IMO.

Think I agree on the above, I'm running 2x250 on a 30" deep and don't know how comfortable I would be w/ T5's for down low.

if youre talking 3' front to back then Id suggest 2 fixtures rather than the 1 10 bulb unit. You could get 2 Aquatinics TX5s or Tek 6bulb units instead.
Aquatinics Tx5 - 460 with out bulbs

the tek light - 470 with bulbs

Also the Aquatinics Constellation 7 bulb unit - 660

heres the 10 bulb unit - 1220$ with bulbs

I think he's talking about about the front-to-back measurement when he said the depth is 36", since he said this would allow plenty of room for the 10 bulbs. Top-to-bottom measurement wouldn't affect how many bulbs you can fit.

for the price of 310 per tek light...youd be crazy not to buy 2 for the tank. The other fixtures are nicer but not worth the extra money. Plus if you ever want to push up performance you can just buy a IC 660 and mod it.
