I am considering a wood canopy with 2x56 watt actinic t5`s with separate reflectors and 2x150 or 175 watt halides for my 75 gallon reef..

would this light be better than the aqualight pro all in one fixture?

had a 260 watt pc but did not like the color(or lack of) it gave my tank.

I have a 90gal with two 150 HQI and two 130w dual actinics and my SPS are not coloring very well. I m now being told I need at least 250 W mh lights to get the color im looking for. Just my two pennies but Im looking to upgrade already and my fixture is only seven months old. All my LPS and softies look good. Thought I would throw this out there to possibly save you some $$$ in the future.
