would this lighting be ok for SPS over a 55 gallon?

Yes, You can have anything with that setup. I run the same setup over a 72 bowfront and keep anything out there. Good luck. If I may ask, what price?

 

[j.p]

the price is 199.00 plus shipping (49.95)

i do not recommend this light.
lousy bulbs and lousy ballasts. you will end up replacing them.
a good quality fixture with those specs, and yes, you can keep anything, but there is a good chance you will be dis-satisfied.

if your not handy with replacing parts spend the money on a better fixture. as x said the bulb and ballast are garbage. if you okay with doing these changes its as good as the coralife(once changes are made)

 

[j.p]

what fixture would you recomend? and would this still be cheaper even if i replaced the lights and ballasts?

 

[chilwil84]

i think it would probably be a little cheaper replacing the parts. in that price range i like the current usa products. coralife is in the same class but i think the current stock bulbs are better and a better product overall.

JUst get one of the best fixtures the NOVA EXTREME PRO!!!!!

you could buy a dual hqi ballast, and a pair of phoenix bulbs, and you have yourself an awesome fixture.

i like the outer orbit hqi, t5ho with moon light fixture, expensive but well worth it, will provide all the lights you could want MH, actinic and moonlights.
