MH fixtures are very nice as far as mainstream fixtures go
PC fixtures are VERY nice as far as pc fixtures go
T5 fixtures leave alot to be desired in reflector development. no problem with reliability or quality control though.
UV sterilizers are my favorite UVs of them all. built like tanks and come with every fitting you could possibly need to plumb it inline.
pc bulbs are some of the best if not the best available (I've tried several. visably brighter back to back then most and the dual spectrum availability doesn't hurt).
mh bulbs are average (as are most except a select few) but certaintly nothing to shy away from using them especially for the price. I'm in no rush to replace my stock sunpod bulbs and I've had "great" mh bulbs in the past.
T5 bulbs suck. are probably the worse performing of commonly available bulbs you can buy. I'd pass on the skimmers as well although I have no direct experience with them. not sure about the nano aquariums but they seem to be popular.

Have a 30" Orbit PC fixture. For the money, good value for a PC fixture. My moonlights arrived DOA. Already had corals so I couldn't ship it back. The fan has died after 2 years of service. But the bulbs are great. Kept a BTA and some monti SPS under it.
Would look into something else if you T5's/MH's, as mentioned above though.
