Opinions on JBJ Viper2 150w MH

[stars&stripes]

Anyone have any feedback on these? I think I'd rather have a sunpaq, but I can get a 24 gal nanocube w/ Viper2 150w for $299. I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on this light?

thanks,

Corey

I've been running the 150W Viper over my 33 cube for about six months now and I'd have to recommend you pass on it. I have been through three different bulbs and it burns them all too yellow and dim. I'm waiting on getting an XM 20K and if that doesn't help I'm either going to buy a sunpod or a 24" T5 fixture and hang it from the ceiling. I actually just got a new ballast for the Viper thinking that it may have been the problem all along but it didn't help at all.

Thanks for the feedback. I just found a great deal locally on the aquapod 24 with the 150w sunpaq which is going to make it affordable for me. Seems to be general consensus that it is a much better light than the viper. Plus I get moon lights:smokin:
