in my 150g-2x400w plus T5's and adding in LED moonlights this weekend, bought so I would never have to "upgrade to better lighting"
in my 120g-1x250w plus actinics and moonlights, bought to keep easier corals and not have to worry about lighting in my 65g hex-1x150w plus PC's and moonlights, bought as an all in one unit as I was a newbie and didn't really know much, this was available and easy to use...but in a deep tank it sucks!

Currently using a 6' Aqualight Pro 150w version with 13000k Geisemann bulbs which are good for punching through the 29" depth of the 220g reef tank. I am in the process of switching over to a 250w version with 14000k AquaConnect bulbs so I can bring home more of my sps corals that are currently in Chin's & Marie's tanks
  Been very happy with the results produced with the Geisemanns even on this deep tank, because I'm softies/lps heavy. Hopefully the upgrade won't blow my breakers. Wanting to go 250w DE because I can then add glass tops over the tank without worrying about light loss, which was a real concern with just 150w over 29". Hopefully everything will work out this week & I'll be able to reduce my evaporation rate & room humidity. On my frag tank, I have a dual 65w PC unit with 9375w GE bulbs that have been very good for colour & growth. Anthony

Power compacts for me right now. one 10,000K 65 watt and one 50/50 65 watt.
Its only a 25 gallon long tank, so its not too deep and MH might run a bit hot. Im in the process of gathering equipment for a new 90 gallon and thats probably going to be 25 watt MH.
