There's a few issues I have with a unit like that though:

- The heat from the halides will skewer the performance and lifespan of the PC's.
- PC actinic lighting is garbage compared to T5 or VHO T12.
- Because of the PC's being fit in the same reflector as the halide, you're losing a lot of light to poor design and that's not even account for the flashthrough.

As far as AquaConnects and other good 14k bulbs go, you'll find a lot of people run these just fine without actinic supplementation.

But whatever, I'm just a retailer trying to scam another customer.
