    I still remember in my early days of fish keeping as a teenager, walking into a LFS (local fish store) asking for "brighter lights". I was handed a couple dual 40w fluorescent fixtures for my 55g (quite expensive too I remember). I went home, installed it, and was disappointed that the light was not only not bright enough, it was lacking that (what I now know to be referred to as) "shimmer". This was before I knew of anything called metal halide. Since then (almost 20 years ago), I've learned a lot and that "shimmer" was something I could not do without. After experimenting with various combinations (CF/MH VHO/MH, T5/MH) I finally settled on using MH (metal halide) solely as my only lighting in all my various setups through my on and off years of reefkeeping.
