Hey guys, Just thought I would ask for your opinions on lighting for my 75 gallon tank. I was originally planning on getting 2 of 4Ft/4Bulbs fixture

But I was looking on eBay today, and found this retrofit kit 2X250W HQI Metal Halide Aquarium Retrofit Kit E ballast - eBay (item 350332974080 end time Oct-21-10 10:58:36 PDT)

Which do you guys think would be better?

I'm pretty sure Dave (Hicker4Twenty) has the same lights over his 75. I think he likes them. I'm sure he'll see this thread and comment on them.

Definitely don't go with Aquatraders. They pretty much suck. My brother has had all types of problems with one of their pendant lights.

Anyway, I do have the T5's from Fishneetit.com and my brother has The T5/MH combo from them as well. For the price their lights are awesome! You'll want to change out the bulbs for better ones, but other than that I really like them. My tank looks awesome and I get great growth and color on all my corals. I run 2 of the 4ft fixtures over my 75. Lots of light, but my SPS need it. Feel free to ask my any questions you like.
