Thanks for all the comments! My tank is about 24"X 24" X 24" approx, and with my HOB fuge and skimmer, i don't have the room to set another duplicate fixture on top (although i have another 24" AL identical to the one i am running). The fixture has individual reflectors for each bulb and has 2X 420/460 actinics + 2 X 700+nm plus the LEDs and a built in digital timer, which is sweet. Based on what i have read, I should have decent PAR values from this set-up, but at what depth i don't know. I was considering getting the Odyssea fixture with the single 250w HQI MH + 2X65w actinic PC lights, then getting an ice cap ballast and different bulbs ($169US plus $181 Ice Cap ballast and $120 giesemann 250w HQi 14500k) for under $500. My rock is arranged like a wall with my softies on/near the bottom and my LPS near the top, but i am running out of room. Is there anyone in the Kelowna area that wants to sell some SPS frags so i can experiment?
