LOL? Am I missing something?

I was talking about the 72" unit with 3 175s and 4 39W T5s. Then on the right you can choose what wattage to do the MHs. 175, 250, 400 and the prices seems good. I did a test on it and with 3 250s and the Pro Actinics it came out to just over 1000.00 Nice price for a total of 906 Watts which should be about 7.5 WPG for your 120. That would give you alot more flexibility on what coral you wanted to eventually put in there.

I called and am going to order the 2 36 inch units. Did my research and 390 watts of T-5 with individual reflectors equals 960 watts of PC lighting. I should be able to keep anything I want in that kind of light.
