 which light system is going to be a better choice I been looking at lights for a while and can't deside on what to get. My tank is 4x2x2 120gallon. I like to keep a mix of hard and soft and lps corals. The local fish store says to get the Hamilton 4' DLX 2MH250 2 PC COMPACT FL 2-96W. I like the 48 inch Outer Orbit 2x250w 10K HQI-MH w/ 4x54W T5 HO & 18 Lunar Lights. Which one is a better light? Or any different suguestions. Thanks  |

| Re: which light system is going to be a better choice I like the current myself. Don't have an Outer Orbit, but do have a Sunpod and it is a nice fixture. Also sounds like you are getting more light with the Outer Orbit, but paying the price for it too. |

| Re: which light system is going to be a better choice I would go with the current.Its more than you need for the coral you have in mind,but(there is always a but)If you wanted to add an sps or 2 you would not have to upgrade your lighting.
