Lighting advice please!!!!!

[allenpantino]

I have a 65 gal reef tank and was looking to upgrade my lighting with a mh corallife aqualight pro. It is 48" with 2-150w hqi and 2- 96w true blue actinics, 3 led moonlights. I plan on adding coral to the tank right now I only have 2 pieces of soft coral and 4 fish. Is this a good set up.I found one from a friend of a friend for about $400.00 its less then 1 year old. Thanks guys for your advice

I found them for $$665 brand new(on sale) regular price $$731
400 dont look to bad to me.

That's a great deal. After shipping charge you will pay an average of $700 for a new one.

That sounds good for lighting a 65, but maybe time for a bulb change.

If I were going to spend that much money, I'd go for something that has a reflector I trust more. I went with a ReefOptix 1 and a 175 W Iwasaki bulb for a 29g and like it. The total cost was about $350 or so. No PC supplements, but a lot of light. This site has a lot of data on MH lighting:
