I would go with 2x 250w halides over the 16" tank. If the heat and cost is an issue go with 8x 48" t5 IMO. 1 actinic 4 ATI blue Plus 1 ATI Purple Plus 1 ATI AquaBlue Special and 1 GE 6500K LED has its place in the hobby... but wouldn't be my first choice for a real frag tank. Just my uneducated opinion Good luck man
