That is still Power Compact Lighting and does not penetrate as well as VHO, T5HO or Halides.

Not too far out of that price range is the light I have on one of my 75G reef tanks. It is called the "Outer Orbit" by the same manufactuer.

Look for a 48" Current USA Outer Orbit. Mine has 2 150W HQI Metal Halides Plus 2 X 130W Power Compact Actinics as well as the "Lunar Lights", There is also a 250W model if you have a deeper tank.

a 55G or 75G tank would do great with the 150W but a 90G or 120G would need the 250W version to get the best results.

Have a look at mine that is on one of my 75G tanks. http://store.seacorals.net/cuusa4856ouo.html
