150w mh

Looks like an Odyssea or Coralvue to me. The AquaMedic Ocean Lights have external ballasts and no switches. The older AquaMedic AquaSpaceLight which had internal ballasts did not have switches nor moonlights. Geisemann never had internal ballasts that I know of.

Your probably right, though many fixtures were aesthetically similar in design, the end plates through me off, was thinking it was modified with moonlights. I looked right past those switches :)
 
I didn't think it was either of those because the Coralife Aqualight has external electronic ballasts. The Odyssea have 4 T5s and rectangular moonlights. At least from the fixtures I've seen from back in the day to currently. Not sure if Odyssea had internal ballasts in any fixtures but I know they did have some of the external black bricks and silver ones too.
 
I owned a geissemann and AquaMedic fixture in the days, and have to agree with those units having external ballasts, which was mentioned, and I overlooked those details....Doh...
 
I miss running a Phoenix. I think I ran a 150w in an AquaMedic pendant over a small cube at one point. No PAR meter nonsense needed.
