Wow, you really going all out huh. If you do want to get MH lights, 3 x MH 150Ws should be sufficient for your 6 footer. However you'll need to consider what sort of plants, etc you'll be growing.

I think the moonlight ones are aiming more towards marine tanks.

MH lights with the spider reflectors are good. But will cost you a bomb as well so will the bulb replacements, etc.

For planted tanks, I guess T5 tubes would be more sufficient. However if you have the means, why not, go ahead with the MHs

Just my thoughts.

Hey William,

I'm quite sure there are folks here with MH lighting sets here for sure. If I could turn back time I would've opted for a DIY kit for sure. Cost saver but won't end up looking sleek
