Catalina Aquarium

They also make the fixtures without the moonlights. $40.00 less.

I have a 150 with the 6 x 80 fixture with moonlights from this company and love the lighting. If I would have known then what I know know I would have just ordered the 4 x 80. Since I only use 3 of the bulbs at any one time, and it is more than enough light. The reflectors are very high quality. The only thing I can say bad about these fixtures is the mounting of the ballast. If you mount in a hood be prepared to allow plenty of ventillation for the ballasts. The endcaps did scare me at first, but I have never had a problem with them building up any type of corrosion.

The lights are included with the fixture price. I would have them replace the actinic with more 10,000k bulbs, which they did for free for me. At the time I ordered they did not carry any bulbs under 10,000k. If they still don't you could order midday bulbs here. I use half 10,000k and half 6700k.

The nice thing about these also is they are ready to plug in and use.

I've used AH lighting and I can say nothing bad about them. But after going to HO T5's I will never go back to PC's.

I wish I had a light meter to test the intensity of these lights to compare.......but alas I don't.
