Looks fine to me.
Liverock doesnt need light and most sfot corals and lps corals will thrive under this set of lights. If you are considering sps then perhaps you will need halides to keep their colours bright.

ok thanks, the halides are so expensive though.

The price yu have there is a goood one for these lights. halides dont have to be expensive though. my 150w halides only cost me £100 (excluding bulb). My 400w cost me £124 (includingbulb). Ok so my halides arent as sleek and sexy looking as the more expensive ones but these are easily hidden behind false canopies.

If you are soley wanting to keep colourful sps corals then i would recomend halides but if you are happy with lps and softies then your money is safe with these lights.

Try here.

Cheap halides

look under aquabays.

They are large and can be ugly to look at but they do exactly the same job as a more expensive halide. You might want to keep a false canopy around them though
