Can you identify this light fixture?

To my beginner eyes it looks like two MH and two T5s?

Those aren’t T5s... they are compact fluorescents (cf)

Coralife Aqualight Pro?

If you are looking for a brand it looks like possibly a coralife aqualight pro

Thanks everybody!

They’re available locally pretty cheaply, but look to be rather old. I’m debating picking up some Mars Aquas, and it seems like the MH bulbs eat a *lot* more power, so that might still be the better option in the long run.

The certainly are an older product, I had one over a 75G years ago, around 2007 or so. Worked well, grew everything

As a guesstimate those lights run about 500 to 700 Watts of power..Depends on the MH wattage mostly..
If I got this right the PC's are 96W w/ a 4 pin square base, harder to find than 4 pin linear base..
This "may" be a replacement bulb.
Need to verify wattage and configuration.

power compacts are generally less efficient than t5's and decay faster..
