yeah i wish there were, none....but it was intresting, it seems like in the fw hobby they condone the use of metal halide, and really push Power Compact, mainly due to the color spectrums offered. Unsure of when this was written, and assuming that they didn't use Marine MH, i can understand why, they are using the 3500k and 65k color spectrums, the amount of heat generated is one thing, but the Gross amount of yellow that is used probly turned them off to MH, the PC's offer a much whiter spectrum, and the Blues are useless in freshwater Aquaria.

Sounds to me like we need a SW comparison... as helpful as FW was..
