Hamilton Cebu Sun fixture

I recently purchased a 48x30x20 tank and was thinking of going with thie Hamilton Cebu Sun fixture. I was thinking of going with the 250 mogul MH with T5 and LED. Does anyone have any experience with this fixture?

I'm looking at this fixture as well for my 54g corner bow tank. Too much light for that? Anybody have any experience with this fixture?

I have the Cebu Sun on my 48 x 30 x 24. I went with the 400w MH's because of the depth. I use an Apex to control light cycle. I also chose the tank mount/legs for light fixture so that I did not have to figure out a way to mount in my living room. With this light setup I can really put just about anything in the tank and know that I can probably provide the light it needs. It seems to be very good quality and think you get what you pay for. I have been very happy with this light setup and am glad my LFS recommended it.

I have a 48x48x24 cube with a Hamilton Cozumel pendant and a radium 250 watt bulb and the coverage is amazing, Im really happy. The coverage is even better that a Lumenbright XL with a 400 20k halide...
