This guy is selling a fixture and I am going to check it out later. His description makes it sound like the lights are power compact and not T5.

If they are power compact and not T5 what kind of difference in performance/experience will I see? I know T5 has a higher PAR than PC generally.

His description is "they are dual tubes with 4 straight pins in a line and there are 4 of them". Sounds like a 4x65w PC with 2x250w HQI. Only company I can find that makes that is Catalina and there website is down currently.

This is for my first tank btw for me to learn on so if this light is good enough then it prob wont be an issue.

Anyone able to find a link for a comparable light? Having a hard time finding the cost of a comparable power compact light with hqi. I know what T5 versions run for.

Thanks!
