I have the 36" 2X250w with no T5's..... Mine came with 2 ballasts that I have kept under my tank in a cabinet. They have been running for about a year now and have not have any issues.

I purchased the 72" outer orbit (no T5s but has supplemental actinics) about 4 months ago. The fixture IMO is great. The only real beef i had was the HQI bulbs it came with were a little to yellow for me (fixed that by switching to phoenix 14000k bulbs).

I was actually looking at the 60 inch model. Almost bought it on boxing day online mainly becuase of the T5 and ballasts, I wanted electronic on the MH... Mosts sites state this as electronic, but after visiting the manufacturer website they plainly stated magnetic... So I am just keeping my Coralife fixture, it works great for me.
The only real beef I can see when I was looking at it is the moonlights, they are too dim. My Coralife has 3X1Watt LEDS and are incredible, most are only .5 to 3/4 watts. Otherwise it does look like a good unit.

For moonlights, 1 watt is definitely the way to go. 3/4 w or less is dim & almost useless IMO for proper viewing at night.
