...yes and also those cheaper T5 fixtures don’t do well over saltwater if not raised up or protected ...Ditto to ATI; I owned and recommend, but you mentioned budget and ATI is pricey ...Wow cool dimensions!
I would say a 6 bulb t5 fixture. The ATI sun power is awesome but costs a little bit. You could get a cheap fixture on amazon but they are inefficient, don’t last as long, burn bulbs quick ect.
Then there is LED but that will be more
pricey. There is then the amazon leds which are proven to work. The viper spectra is the proven best budget black box led.
T5 is the way to go imo best beginner lights

This would be ideal, but any fixture will work, keeping in mind what we said above about performance
Can't go wrong with a Viparspectra 165 or 300 watt. I had the 300 watt on my 46 bowfront reef for 3 years and corals did very well, and just switched to 2 kessils when I had the money.
