If the lighting companies didnt make it so confusing on which lights are better for you, then we would buy the right one first instead of spending tons of money on the wrong ones.

Unfortunately these companies care more about money than the consumers...If they got it right the first time that would eliminate the chance of them slowly improving the product...meaning it would eliminate the chance of us as a people spending money every month for that product that got a little better each month.:mad:

Has anyone here ever tried these? From what I've read it seems as though a few of you doubt they can work well.. Why? Anybody like to elaborate? If they were lower in price would that make them better? I did see that my 55gal would take 10 panels and it would cost $750.00 minimum....WOW.. I thought MH's were expensive!

No they will work its the cost of them thats the main limiting factor .. As for M/H they are not that expensive . Its all about where you get them..
