I just bought a moon light for my sw tank. It is awesome; however, it did cost me $150!!! It comes with (right from the box) One True Actinic 03 Blue Compact fluorescent lamp; One 10,000K Daylight compact fluorescent lamp; and Two Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED lamps. And all 3 have different switches. It also has its own cooling fans. I am so excited!!!! The moon lights are really neat! It is made by Coralife and is called Lunar Aqualight. Its Awesome!!
I Got It!!!!!!!

I was just up at the LFS yesterday (getting a lid and light for a 10) and he had just gotten in some of the lights you are talking about...they are awesome looking. They are very compact and light Im sure compared to some of the DIY or even store bought ones used to be. and yes you DID get all the lights you need for the one tank. Sure you could get another one for your freshwater tank, that would be awesome! Congratts!
well, basically, plants and coral require different light spectrums to thrive. plants need something in the kind of warm yellow area (5,700k -> 8,000k) whereas corals use a cooler blue spectrum (10,000k -> 20,000k). Your light is set up with a 10,000k and an Actinic which is great for a SW reef but not ideal for plants.
I am a bit confused about this light, btw, because I did not know coralife made a 48" fixture with only one daylight PC bulb...beyond that, on a 75g tank that single PC bulb (even if it is a 96w) is going to make it awfully tough to keep anything photosynthetic alive
