Not sure this would be saving any time, two 175W would be overkill for a mixed reef (at least from an energy standpoint, with a single 150W usually sufficient with the right reflector), and he specifically asked for LED options.

Why are "we" always trying to convert others? He specifically asked for an LED option. Please note that I am not trying to be confrontational or "snarky", but seriously wonder why this is such a common response when posters have questions like this.

I made a custom mounting instead of using the wires they give you. Also, Aquatic Life only comes with the A360 mount, they are making the A160 and it should be out soon™.
That will be significantly over his $500 budget.
