i was thinking of putting the finnex 150 watt hqi + t5 fixture on a 20 high aquarium. (24x12x16)

is this a good fixture? how are the reflectors? heard of any quality problems with it?

thanks in advance

finnex makes low end products. I suspect the reflectors on the fixture you are looking at are very sub par. Ultimately, with lighting, half the battle is good reflectors, then the other half the right amount of watts of light, otherwise much of your light gets wasted & you may have poor distribution across the your tank..
