I only get 2300 for bulb replacment and that is if you go with 3 bulbs. 2 bulbs can light a 6 foot tank effectivly so that would only be 1600.00 ish.

if you changing MH more than once a year your throwing away good money.

I'll be waiting untill these units are mainstream before I'd even think of trying them.

I haven't seen a pic of the lighting yet that has given me the urge to get them.

I'm watching to see what results you have with corals.

I have always heard to change you MH every 6 months. I have used one for 18 months in the past though.
