What does PG mean?

I want to set this up with 2 URI 10k Aquasuns for my 6 foot 150 gallon tank.

Can any body help confirm I can run a F72 VHO tube.

thanks
4pts...
yes it will run 72" lights.

the "PG" stands for "Power groove" it is a floressent tube that has one of the highest ouputs out there. The grooved lamp actually increases the effective arc length by about 10%. so it is like getting a longer tube in a shorter space.
