What manufacturer would everyone suggest for a lighting fixture for a 75g. I plan on keeping mostly SPS so I am thinking 2 250w HQI with 2 110w VHO actinic. Can anyone suggest someone. I just recently purchased a fixture from Hamilton. And I like it but was wondering if there were anyone else out there. I have seen the Aquaspace Light and it looks sweet but only has PC for actinic. Thoughts on PC vs. VHO for actinic supplemantation would be great also. Thanks a bunch.
Lighting suggestions for 75

I use 2-150watt aquastarlight future(same as spacelights)on my 75gal tank. It is great lighting for this tank. I had to buy a chiller yesterday though. Last week we had a 110f heat index here in NYC and my tank reached 90f!!!! My corals died that day 
. Anyway, i now have the chiller and dont have to worry about that . I honestly do not think you will be disappointed with either the amount of light or the color they give off. They give off a bright white light with a hint of blue. No actinic vhos needed unless you really like blue tanks or to make a dawn/dusk effect. With these lights, you can keep anything.

I'm in the planning stages for a 120 gallon SPS tank. One lighting system I've got my eye on right now is this dual 250 DE setup from Sunlight Supply. I was thinking about T-5s for actinic. This should work well on a 75 gallon SPS tank as well.
