Lighting Opinions

I currently am trying to do some changes to some of my tanks right now I got 24g aquapod topless, and I just started a frag tank thats same dimensions as a 20 long just 6'' tall no canopy top on it either

I got 2 70w mh over the 24g but im thinking of either getting 2 of the ecoxotic modules 1 white and 1 blue along with a stunner strip and do a retrofit hanging pendant... or maybe go with nanotuners 24 cree xre retrofit kit which I will have to wire up myself but the gain is I will be able to wire in a dimmer with these...

I was then trying to decide if I should go with MH on my frag tank or if I should go led with it as well

with a 6'' shallow tank in addition to corals sitting on frag racks I dont think water penetration will be a big issue...

I also thought about maybe just getting one of the 150w odyssey pendants and only doing leds on the frag tank...

Help me make up my mind guys

its a personal preference IMO

Not terribly hard to DIY
