Does anyone have any experience with Aquatic Life. HID/T5 systems? We had an Outer Orbit HQI/T5HO system that was falling apart after only 3 months so our dealer recommended (and installed today) the Aquatic Life lighting.

It's 72" and has 3 adjustable 150 w 10,000K metal halides and 4 420/460 nm T5 HO lamps with 6 adjustable LED lunar lights.

My corals were doing great with the old lighting and I am concerned that the wattage decrease might hinder their growth. My dealer says that the Aquatic Life product is state of the art and provides comparable light by use of better refractor design.

Would appreciate any input.
 
150w on a 72" tank seems kinda low. If its a 22" tall 125g i'd suggest going with 250w mh's.
