Good grief Sunpods are bright

[JFristoe]

I just got my 30" Sunpod in for my 29 gallon tank and I love it. All hail Metal Halides. (my first "good" light)

That's cool, I'm planning to buy that exact light fixture for my 30" 20 gallon tank.
Did you go for the 150w or 250w version?
Any comments on the color?
Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting the 2x150w 36" version for a 30 gallon tank, would like to hear other people's comments on the SunPods.

I have the 2 x 150 MH Sunpod on a 75g and I really like it. I have added a TEK ready fit 2 x 54w with ATI blue plus T-5's and it really makes the colors stand out!

I have that exact sunpod on my 30 Gal tank and it's been great. I'm thinking about upgrading to the 2x250 sunpod since I mainly keep SPS and a couple of the most light-intense specimens don't get enough light from the 150w version.

I don't plan to add any other lights to the Sunpod fixture, is the 250w overkill for a 20g long?
There is no corals in there yet so I want to keep my options open..and the GF really likes clams!
Thanks for the feedback

I also have the exact same fixture over my 40g tank for about a week and a half now, I must say that I'm very happy with the light output from the fixture. The one downside so far is that one of the fans has started to make a humming or rubbing noise that seems to come and go not sure what is causing that yet? You will need a little room on your current setup to plug in the fixture 3 different connections are used the 2 for the led's have small powerpacks on them and the main mh is just a standard plug. The fixture runs a lot cooler to the touch then my pc ever did.
