Lighting options

[axe_man16]

I am trying to do some planning for my next aquarium...I want to start with just a FOWLR tank for a year or so until my tank is good and ready to start adding coral. I have a 75 gallon tank and will be adding a 40 gallon sump.

I really don't want to fork out $1000 for a light so i looked on ebay and found a couple that might be ok. I was hoping someone had experience with these two fixtures. The ebay seller has a very good reputation, but that doesn’t mean the lights are any good.

Let me know what you think (heating concerns, ballasts etc.). Or if you have any suggestions on alternative lighting

here are the links for the lights.
