IT is Mh made by viper its the k-2. its for a school tank that we are doing and we are wanting to keep just easy corals, such as mushrooms,xina 9 i know i missed spelled it..)

Metal halide is a bit much for those species. Just make sure the light is about a 8 to 10 inches above the water. The mushrooms might start to melt. Vhos or t5's would work to.

I put that light on my tank and everything loved it. I had run HO T5's and all was ok but it all got great when I added the MH.
