Would this light be enough to keep some acros up high in a 30g cube, also would it be better than 192w of PC?

This is it! The Coralife Aqualight Advanced Series Hang on tank fixture is here! 150 Watts of Light in one sleek and compact unit!!!
Three points of articulation for multiple lighting positions Sleek, anodized black-aluminum housing with ventilation grill.
*Highly-polished reflector
*Built-in cooling fan
*Glass HQI lens cover
*Heavy-duty mounting bracket


The Coralife Aqualight Advanced Series Hang-on Tank Mount fixture is sleek, streamlined and versatile with three points of articulation for multiple lighting positions.
The compact and low-profile style, designed with a heavy-duty mounting bracket, is suitable for applications where space is limited. It is equipped with a cooling fan, highly-polished aluminum reflector, protective HQI glass lens cover and ventilation grill. The fixture includes the double-ended HQI metal halide lamp of your choice and external HQI remote ballast with an on/off switch. The double-ended HQI metal halide lamps emit the highest light-output-per-watt available. The refracted light from the HQI lamp produces shimmering, dappled-lighting effects that simulate properties of natural sunlight in ocean water. It brings out vibrant colors and provides perfectly-balanced lighting for all types of corals and marine life.
 
I am looking into this light as well. I heard the reflector is not that good and u loose alot of light
 
Did you guys manage to get opinions on this fixture?
Or alternatively, do you know of any other Hang on tank fixtures?

Thanks
 
I have 2 of them on my 72 bowfront.
Pros: Compact design, Good light spread, units have built in fans
Cons: the arms and mounts aren't super sturdy, built in fans require a scond outlet to plug them in and must be manually switched on and off. (Dumb in my opinion)
 
cons: dont fit on small tanks, they extured off the back wall pretty far
no UV shield, you need to stick with coralife bulbs (de) they haev the UV shield built in
