NO- MH are high intensity light specifically designed for hard corals and other light intensive critters!
They are expensive and HOT!
For FO you only need enough light for viewing and if you want to grow some items on your live rock, you can run some daylights and actinics or bump up to a PC system which is inexpensive and most come with lunar lights which are great for night viewing.

The recommendation for replacement is 6 months, which could vary depending on how many hours a day you use them. The Actinicis usually need replacing first.Does your pc give you options for bubl replacement? Mine has a standard replacement package-would have to look up the actual light values.
