I'm buying new halides this weekend and need advice on which brand to go with. I have a 55gal now but will be up grading to a 75 or 125 in the next couple months.
I kinda had my heart set on 2 250w PFO mini pendents with a PFO HQI ballast and phoenix 14k's. I have seen this setup on someone else's tank and liked the colors they were getting.
But...
In the effort to save a few bucks I looked around more and saw the Hamilton 250w 14K Reefstar System for around $60 cheaper each light. It is my understanding I will get more PAR from the PFO setup. Is that extra PAR going to be needed for an SPS dominant reef? Or will the Hamilton's provide the punch needed? Any other suggestions are welcome.
TIA
