    I'm looking to buy a 6ft maristar fixture with 3x250W and 4x39W actinics. Anyone have this fixture? Do you like it? How well do the reflectors for the HQI's spread the light? Doesnt have to be the 6ft version, just anyone with the 250's. I don't want to build my own canopy and this looks like a nice clean design that would look nice hanging over a tank..BTW the tank it's going over would be a ~225, 72x30x24

    I dont have it but I've had multiple Sunlight Supply items and I can say without a doubt they make some very top end equipment, their reflectors are second to none and their ballasts are typically top notch as well

    I would say that you will not be dissapointed in the fixture. I have a tek 4 bulb 48" T-5. Its extemely high quality, lights don't flicker when they come on. Runs pretty cool. Nice sleek profile looks very good above the tank.


    I was going to get that fixture, but in 48", I just couldnt bring myself to spend the cash on it.
