I have the 72" one with 3 250W and 8 T5HO's..on my 225G
and the 24" one with 1 150W and 4 T5HO's on my 54G
I LOVE THEM...SO YES....IMO it is an excellent light....actinics, daylights, and moon all have separate plugs too

i personally would not do fixtures for mh. if you have a way to mount them, i would do lumenmax elite mh reflectors with the appropriate ballast for the bulbs you want to run. better components, better output. if you want actinics, i would do 2 strips of 48" reefbrite strips to go along with your mh. theyll pentetrate through and give you much nicer coloration when your mh is off than the outer orbit ever would

dang meower u must like the light if u have 2 of them.
YES...I really do....and you can upgrade the bulbs for better colors
I got lucky and found the 2nd one used and JUMPED on it.....I have really been happy with the light....The 72" one is hanging from the ceiling, and the other is not yet LOL
I know a couple other people that have them....and I believe they are just as happy
p.s......the current bulbs stink
