oh nevermind i read 65watt and figured it was power compact, T5s are more then capable for softies. i wouldn't try to grow SPS though they won't last with that fixture
looks like a sundial T5, they are rather expensive fixtures too so thats a good deal and you should grab it up before its to late.
i also take back my SPS wouldn't last, they should be fine in the mid to top of the tank, just use good quality bulbs cuz the standard current USA bulbs aren't that good
what tank are you thinking of putting that fixture over? i'm not sure 150 dollars is a good deal if you have to replace lamps that's gonna be another 80-100 dollars for decent lamps. now the fixture is 250, and we don't even know how old it is.
i would not keep sps under 4 x 54 unless the tank was about 12" deep.
