Hamilton 48" power compact/ metal halide combo lighting system as it says for $300 NIB. Does this sound like a good deal and good lighting for a 75gal tank i would like to have SPS in?

Does it have 2 175s?

If you went with the Iwasaki 14/15K bulb would be able to keep any SPS you wanted.

I have a similar fixture over my 58 ( 3 foot fixture ), and am very pleased with it. Want to say the unit is about 8 years old now. However, I did upgrade to a 2*250 ballast about 6 months ago -- since I prefer a 20K bulb.
