Lighting a 93g Cube

Just wanted some opinions. I'm purchasing a 93g cube, and would like to see which light fixture to go with. I went with a DIY kit (rapidled) with my 29g, and it works great...however I think i'm going to go with the pre-constructed model this time around.

Any suggestions would be great, with that said, I'm more of an LED guy.
 
Have you considered the Sirius XTC?

It is one of the few LED Fixtures that can cover 24"x24" with the intensity of a 400 watt MH or 36"x36" with the intensity of a 250 watt MH

I'm real happy with the Radion XR30w Pro on my 93G cube.

Agreed, I have 2 XR30 Pros over DB 80g, I originally purchased them for a 93 cube but went a different route with the tank. The Other option I pursued was a 400w mogul Reef Brite reflector with 24" T5s around the perimeter.

Are you able to grow SPS well? I want to have an sps dominated reef.

The Best SPS tanks I've seen use 400 watt MH or their LED equivalent in PAR....

You need at least 200 PAR on the sand bed.

Here are some pics of an ex MH user...

Have yet to see an awesome sps tank with low or medium par...

Gotta Say the Sirius XTC was designed to replace a 400 watt MH. Its twice the PAR of the Radion Pro.
