I'm thinking of purchasing a pair of 14 inch aquaticlife expert series xs-uv light fixture for my 150gal. Has anyone ever used or are currently using. I'm choosing these simply because I can't afford the eco techs I want. All help is appreciated thanks!

Not sure what the specs are but two isn't enough for a 150 I think.
What is the total wattage on the unit and what does it say about the degree in lenses?
 
I used the AL XS Series over my 65G and loved it. I actually have it for sale. It's 156W total power and it gave me 800-900 par at surface and 150-200 on the sand bed, 19". I really liked the programmability of the lights and the full spectrum LEDs. I swapped out the 80 degree lenses and put in 100s. I barely ran over 50% or else I would bleach my corals. They are very good lights.
