Hey, do any of you have any experience with the Coralife Aqualight Pro 48" 250 Watt HQI fixture? Would you guys recommend it?

I've got an aqualight pro 36" fixture w/ 1x250watt MH's and 2x96watt actinic pc's, and of course 2 moonlights. If I recall correctly, the 48" model actually comes with 2 MH's. I have my cl pro on a 55gallon tank that is 24 inches tall. I have an acropora that is sitting almost on the bottom of the tank, and I am getting outstanding growth. Were talking almost a 1/2 in/month. The light is gorgous, well buit, comes with the legs, and is pretty much "plug n play". My only complaint would be that you want a MH bulb other than a 10k (which still looks pretty good), you will have to invest in a different bulb. Excellent fixture, sleek, slim, AWESOME lighting, and works great with the coralife timer. Best light for the money, no questions. If you have any questions or need help setting it up, feel free to pm me. Hope this helps. By the way, I've had the light for almost a year now - no problems what so ever.
