Who's using 150w DE hqi?

Just trying to get an idea of how people are using this 'size' lighting.

Tell me about your tank size and the livestock you're keeping under these lights.

Thanks

I use 150W 14K Phenox. I am satisfied. I love the blue.

I use a Aqualine Buschke 13k bulb on a 29 Gallon Reef. It's a great bulb and am happy with it.

I am using the Current Outer orbit with 2 X 150 hqi and 4 t-5's love the look and corals are doing fine. I do not have much in the tank right now as I just upgraded again from a 29G...

Thanks for the replies!
How tall are your tanks and what types of corals are you keeping under the lights?

I am running a XM 15k on a 25 gallon tank with 2x55watt PCs... I think the tank is 18" deep... I'm keeping a few different Montiporas, a few Zoos and two clams... Everything is looking great...

14k Hamilton in a Nova II fixture with Magnetic ballast.

20" tall tank with LPS and softies doing well.

I'm using 2 150 watt 14k Ushios on an Outer Orbit. I'm growing sps, clams, etc. Not a big fan of the Ushio's with my actinics. Purple seems to be washed out and dull.
