    I will try to remember to bump this for you during the middle of the day. See if any of the daytime users have any insight

    Are these not for commercial use?
    I have seen a private aquarium with these lights. The aquarium its self was bigger then my bedroom, some guy had built it in an out house. I was buying some frags from him.

    The depth of the tank its self must have been at least my height which is 5'8". He all sorts of coral in there. Prodominately LPS. Some on the floor some not. He also had a Red Carpet Anemone in there. Everything was huge! I mean ocean huge.

    So altho i have never used them nor have any experience, i have witnessed an aquarium that utilizes these, and the growth was phenomanol as was the size of the tank.

    anyone can purchase these lights, thanks for replying. the size is close to lumenmax, there only off an inch but it utilizes two mh bulbs. reflection ratio is close to lumenmax. a mh combo of 14k with 20k without T5 or pc would be interesting.

    By dual reflectors you men the type that will hold multi M/H with different K values sure what and how many do you want ? Once you have been in this hobby as long as I have you see and use everything.

    Most times these are used by horticulturist and plant growing Hot house's I did try a couple on a 750 tank once was not all that beneficial at all went with single bulb units instead . Unless you are doing some really deep and wide tanks not of that much value really..

    Better fixture at a better price and found mostly in your local pot grow out house :) I saw them on a t.v show raid last week basement full of weed and these very reflectors :)
