    I like the fixture, it has cooling fans and it tilts up which are the best parts. Connecting the bulbs was a bit of a pain since the connectors were not mounted in place and just hanging there, you had to stretch them out to see where they would be placed. One of the ballasts melted in the first hour of use but i replaced that with a better quality one. The bulbs were ok but am replaceing those with ATI bulbs.

    I've been very pleased so far with mine. I will change out the bulbs in a month or so. These have sufficed thus far, but I only have softies and LPS right now. Overall though, pretty happy with this fixture.

    Overall though how are those of you that have these lights liking the performance? I would imagine that like anything bought from aquabid.com they would have to have the bulbs upgraded to something better.

    Id love to hear all the feedback.
