i'm gonna be setting up my 135g tank soon and want to ask everyones opinion on which is better mh hoods or separate components?
what does everyone use on their own setups?
what are the top manufacturers of mh lighting?

I am a big fan of the pfo fixtures. I run them on all my reef tanks.
Of course they are now making reflectors that kick butt also, I believe Lumen Arc has the lead there.

Don't forget to mention your tank is going to be built into a wall! I think you will get more light for less bux with a retro fit. When you buy a fixture, you are also paying for the case etc... Things you don't need.

If you were setting up the 135 in your living room, without a canopy, then the self contained fixtures would be the way to go.
