Yeah, the cloudy water thing is just because my tank is so shallow. The light builds up and has no where else to travel , so I think it's "too much" light, giving off the cloudy effect.

I have the 6' version & I love it. (Again thank you Griffen) I do find that on my dual 65gallons it is a bit tight to work in the tank, but if it really becomes a problem, I'll go get the hanging kit. My main complaint is the crappy bulbs (150w DE Coralife) that comes with it originally. They go very yellow, very quickly. I now have 10000k Reeflux bulbs from OA & love them. Nice crisp white light with a touch of blue & the corals' colours stand out well.

I've never heard of MH lights causing cloudy water.
FYI, I use the six foot version and have retarded water clarity, my lights are only 4" from the surface of the water.

No.. it's hard for me to explain I guess. Because my tank is so shallow , and I have all that light, I find I get funky water. I don't think it's the water itself, it's just that there's too much light and viewing it through the glass creates a cloudy water effect. I still don't know if that makes much sense.. Oh well.

I've had the 4 foot version for over a year now, and aside from the crappy Coralife bulbs have had no complaints - this is an excellent solution for an all in one product.
The hinged mounting legs won't work on these fixtures though they're quite slick, I have a set for my refugium Aqualight. The Pro's are too heavy for those legs. The hanging mount and new bulbs sound like the answer to your problems. I quickly got frustrated working in the tank with the stock legs and got the hanging kit... NICE... I'm selling mine because I tore down the tank they were over to focus on my 135... but in the year it was set up did it ever grow stuff! (A lot of hair algae at the end, but I attribute that to the lousy bulbs and bunged up rock.)
