Yes, it's one large reflector bent. I have the 250w halide and three of the T5 fixture's. I have no complaints except I could do without the external ballasts. This is a pic I took a while ago of my 2 bulb fixture

change out the stock bulbs and I don't think you'll have a promlem growing SPS...I've got an undata doing great under just 4 bulbs, but it is near the tope 1/3rd of the tank and I changed out one bulb for now, will be changing out the other three when I get back down there.

Don't waste your money on this fixture. TEK's are cheap now that the elites are out. You can get a 6 bulbs for $340 now and your going to have to change out the bulbs on the "fishneedit" fixture. Spending that extra bit will be well worth it.

imo for a 90gal a 4 bulbs is garbage
