I like the 15 or 14K bulbs over everything else, you get te center medium which in my head is thebest of both worlds. Unless you like the really blue look with a higher Kelvin, or the yellow look with the lower Kelvin.

i don't know what i just said either but what i was trying to say is how good does the light reflect 2by2 area ? or even more? how much of the tank does the light cover
A halide will cover a little more than 2 feet of ground area, after that 2 feet it starts to shade out.
It is always reccomended to use one halide for every two feet of tank.

Oh, sorry about that. OK, well, to be honest, I would not recommend the PFO then. I specifically bought it because my new tank is only 18" front to back, and I did not want excess light illuminating the living room I previously used the hamilton reefstar, I belive it is. Much better spread of light, but I have heard that they are not the best reflector. I think the reefoptix III (don't quote me on the name) is supposed to be as good if not better (reflector wise) as the PFO.
