The light you posted is just a single reflector and ballast. The bulb is extra. It will need to hang over the tank and will only light maybe half of the tank. You will need at least 2 of them and I would go with the 150w's over the 70w's. For $500 dollars, there are better options.
Power Compacts are outdated and overpriced in the long run. There are also better options available than those. MH or T5HO are the way to go.

With the increased light, reduced size and nearly double the life expectancy, the increased use of T5HO's have knocked Power Compacts out of the market. Combine all of that with a bulb that is about half the price of a PC bulb and it's easy to see where the PC bulb is heading.Really I thought they just came on the market a few years back....
