I use Pc's .. I have about 110 watts 50/50 running over my 72 .. I keep almost every type of soft corals in there and they do well .. Then in my 30 gal cube I have i think about 192 watts 50/50 over it and keep an Anenome and some soft corals ...

2x250DE Phoenix 14K on mag hqi ballasts over a 30 breeder plus ~6 hours of direct sunlight. it's too bright of course, so i got them hung really high.

i figure it's free electricity for the winter since it takes pretty much exactly that amount of load off my apartment heating. i'll switch to something else come spring, hopefully i'll have my new tank built by then.

3x 36" VHO on Ice cap 430,
2x 10k, 1 actinic, over a 46 gallon bow front. Bulbs are coralife, which don't have reflectors, just a white canopy. Its ok, just not great. I will probably be replacing with URI bulbs with the internal reflectors.
Again like the PCs not enough for the more demanding sps, but my montipora's, xenia, star polyp, mushrooms and zoas at the bottom have been growing well.
