    I have a 150watt mh over my shallow cube now, brand new bulb less than 14 hours on bulb. Today I found the 24" ecoxotic fixture for cheap. Which is a better light? Id like to keep sps, nems, and already have a clam. The tank foot print is 30lx30wx13h. I do like that the led won't have a ballast, the one for my mh I have now is kind of an eye sore BC it won't fit under my stand. Also like less heat and power consumption. Idk if that ecoxotic fixture will have the light spread that my 150w mh has. Thanks!
