All in one lighting fixture

[mmbltcsw1]

Soon, I will be upgrading to a 125g tank. Is there a good fixture that has MH/T5/Actinic/Moonlight? I understand this will probably be pricey, but I like the idea of everything in one fixture. Thanks in advance

marineland pro light, aquatic life hid, or aqualight pro all hv mh, t5 and moonlights under one fixture. as for actinics, thats just the color of the t5 bulbs. the price is going to be around $1000.

There is a company that has an inexpensive pendant, it doesnt have moon lights, but at $100 each, you could get 4 of them for your tank and definately still afford too add moon lighting. Each one is a 150W HQI and 2x t5HO (12 inch i think). google aqua traders pendant. I think its an odyssea so i've heard the bulbs suck out of the box, but its a steal anyway... Otherwise without going DIY route you're looking at a lot of money, so watch for sales at all the online vendors.

Ok, I like the Marineland Pro setup. Are the bulbs it comes with good or should I change them to a better brand?

most stock bulbs r decent at best. change them out after 6-8 months.
