Help with Light!!!

[Ariel110G]

Hey guys, I need help, I?m going crazy I have a 110 gallontank 48L,18W,30H right now my light setup is:
Coralife 48" 4x65W PC Fixture (I know it?s not good atall for my deep tank) & as a second fixture for help, & it does help, Ihave a Marineland Reef Capable LED 48-60 (I got it new!!! for $150!!!)
I want to get a new fixture & I?m looking to get a 6bulb T5 light fixture I don?t want MH & I don?t have the money for the goodLED?s & my wife will kill me if I spend the $$ on the good ones, :irked:

So this is what I?m looking at
Aquaticlife 6 bulb T5 light fixture 48", I can get itfor $400 new.
Or I have seen this on ebay for $188 & it got goodreviews:

Even $400 is a lot for me now, but thank god for creditcards. So what to get???

Check out premiumaquatics.com clearance section. I am pretty sure I saw a 6 bulb Tek elite fixture on sale for under $400 and it is a good fixture.

I know I ll get beat up for this but I have the Chinese led s over my 225. I ve had them for several years and they look great and I get
Good color and growth from all my corals. They're $138 on eBay so for under $300 you can light you tank very nicely. That being said. I can keep mushrooms and weslo but they don't thrive. They just sit there. All other softies and spa grow very nice. I have some frags that are the size of softballs now in less then a year and I keep a very happy clam on the bottom that has added an inch over the same time frame. Good luck

I would look for a used Tek Elite or ATI sunpower. With that depth you need a fixture that will punch down deeply. Aquatic life T5s and PC's aren't going to cut it here. LEDs or 250watt halides are another option.
