Which MH system?

[rustypixel]

OK, I've been doing some research on MH lighting for my nano and have come up with the following three. I'd like to get some feedback from those that know these systems or own and use them. For whichever one I decide to get, I will get a 14K bulb to replace the stock bulb. Note that this will initially be placed on a 10 gal. nano but will be moved to either a 20 regular or 30 cube. Please let loose with all your comments/suggestions.

Thanks.


Edit:

Oops, I forgot the lights:

Coralife Aqualight Pro 24" 150W

Outer Orbit 24" 150W

Sunpod 24" 150W

I have used the coralife clamp on 150w and wasn't a big fan of it. Now i am running a 250w aquamedic pendent with the 14k phoenix and i really like it. I have it over a oceanic 30 cube. 250 might be a bit much for something smaller in the mean time for you but great foe the cube.

15nano is this the pendant you are using and like?

Also, how did you mount or hang it?

Thanks,

I looked at the clamp-on but didn't like it too much either. I am leaning more towards the Coralife with the actinics, but I would like to know what are the benefits of having the actinics other than allowing for a dusk/dawn cycle?

Thanks.

They supplement the MH. Gives the tank a nicer color and helps corals.

i was thinking the same thing how was the 150w 14k MH any complaints thinking of putting it on my 24G nano
