is this a good deal for MH fixture?

Post by briguy44 »

I am looking for a nice metal halide set up to put over my 90 gallon reef. I am unfamiliar with the brand....anybody know anything about it? Do you think it is a deal or not so much?

I'd say go to reefcentral.com and ask them there. There is a place dedicated to just the lights and other equipment so I'm sure someone will be able to give you first hand experience.

My guess is at that price, you'd have to replace all bulbs. I prefer T5s, myself.

How many T5's do you have over your reef tank?
