Yup, they will. It's a Sfilgoi Infinity XR4 (3x 400W MH and 8x t5). Plug it in and watch your hydro meter go crazy!

new equipment: "gotta have it"

Nice try Marie Actually, I'll probably be begging for some frags after I fry all my corals. Increasing the wattage by 570 watts (942 watts to 1512 watts) I'm going to have to really watch the corals and acclimate them slowly to the new light. With 8x T5's in the fixture I'll probably only run the MH's for a couple of hours a day to start.
