Lighting package feedback

[reefrf]

Can you give me your thoughts & or suggestions on this lighting package I put together with the help from a sales person from Hello Lights.com?

Here is some information on what I am currently using:
2x150w MH Phoenix HQI retrofit with 2x96w actinic PC's (Coralife Magnetic ballast)

I would like to replace it with this:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ron

It's blank for me too. It's probably because you're not logged in on my computer. What's your user name and password? Oh, and your social security number.

How's this work?

This looks like a great setup, but how is the MH going to be positioned?

The T5's are for atinic right?

My only concern is getting the MH fixutre high enough off the tank to get good dispersion. Unless your focus is to light the middle parts of the tank (which people like to do btw), this is something to think about.

I plan on positioning the MH in a similair position as it is now, evenly spaced over the 4 feet of length of the tank, I'm not even sure what other way would make sense, I want to keep it pretty much over the open water & not over the center brace,(if that makes sense). The canopy itself is 12 inches high so I would imagine the lights to be sitting 8-10 over the water.
