That sounds exactly like the Ebay model from a dealer with a name like aqualights or aquactinics that KyleV bought. It is a really nice set up. You see them in Craigslist ads as well.

BTW that's the exact setup I have on my 75g except I made it myself.

well I guess I might just have to give it a try. I was looking at the Coralife PC Pro that looks just like it but way less watts and half the price! :)

I used to run 2x250 watt MH plus 2x96 watt PC actinics on a 58 gallon. The light is a great amount for SPS but you have to watch your heat.
