Any thoughts on AquaticLife lights

As the title says, any thoughts on the AquaticLife fixtures as a whole, in particular the 48" CF model:

I will have an Aqueon 75G single overflow tank (48x18x20)

48 Inch 4x65 Watt AquaticLife PowerCompact CF Light Fixture

Could that light handle about anything I wanted to do with a reef setup? What could it not handle?

The configuration is as follows:
(2) 22" CF 65W 420/460
(2) 22" CF 65W 700+ (equivalent to 10K)
(4) 1W LEDs
(2)built in fans
built in ballasts
built in timer

What about replacement bulb avail with this fixture as well?


Trying to find an "all-in-one" fixture that covers all needs for live aquaria, including fish, LPS, SPS, etc. Basically covers everything;

And that has built in fans, ballasts, and timer, and only one power cord out.

Seen this one: 48 Inch 2x150 Watt HID 2x54 Watt 420/460 NM AquaticLife T5 HO Light Fixture W/ 4 Lunar LEDs,
Configuration is as follows:
(2) 48" T5 HO 54W 420/460 Lamps
(2) G12 150W HID 700+ Lamp
(4) 1W Lunar LEDs (can pivot up to 40*)
no fans
internal electronic ballasts
built in timer

but not trying to spend $800 for a fixture, plus that fixture doesn't have other bulb options for the HID bulbs

Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
