that sounds like a darn nice light!!! Im sure you will love it. I wouldnt say you wasted your cash unless you are not planning any coral. What I really like about those is that it is one nice compact unit. Again, I bet you'll love it.

You'll love having that metal hallide. I'd suggest setting up a tri-pod. Take a picture of your tank with the old hood, then one with the new hood. Post them so we can see how much better your tank looks.
