Light vs. Light

[widdledink]

I am wanting to add some basic simple corals to my tank and will need to upgrade my lights. I am interested in buy a new hood for my tank. I have been sold on getting one of the Coralife Double PC hoods. Then this past Saturday I was introduced to CustomSeaLife's Smartlight PC hood.

Here is my question. What has everyone used and the experience in PC lights. Does anyone use either one of these hoods? What kind of results have you bee getting.
You all know...any info would be great.


Again,
Tanks in advance.

I haven't used any of the pre-built systems, but I do have a 4x96w PC setup by CustomSeaLife and it's great! The ballasts run cool and quiet and I have no complaints at all. I have heard mixed reviews on Coralife products, but don't have any personal experience with them.

I'm using the 130W Corallife hood on my 20 for several months. Not enough time to say anything about durability, but the montipora and softies are growing like crazy under it. I hear rumors that Custom SeaLife products are higher quality, but have no firsthand experience.

I run CSL's Powerquads on my 55. Very nice stuff.
