MH lighting?

Could i get a few people to check out this MH set-up?

I just want to know if it is sutable for reefing, and if it would be good for coral growth.

It should work, as long as it is really 10k.

Is the OmniPak a good alternative? or is an electronic ballast better?

Does anyone have any experience using the OmniPak MH on a reef tank? do they compare to an electronic ballast?

They are nice with the 10,000s. I saw a 20,000 on a pals tank and it was'nt that nice looking. The 10,000s are better I say. JD

Thanks jimbo

Is this particular MH setup sutible for a reef aquarium? will it perform the same as MH with an electronic ballast? I just want to make sure it's not just some outdoor MH.

Thanks
