Hi Jason,
I am now planning my lighting setup for my 200G (SPS wanna be tank)
I was wondering if you could give me price quote for two selection, so I can compare and make my decision.
Choice Number (1)*
- 4 x aqualine 10000 Double ended 250W 10K Bulbs
- HQI Ballast - I will need two (pair of bulb per ballast?)
- Sockets
- Wires and misc parts (if doesn't come with the ballst)
- 4x Spider Reflector
Choice Number (2)
- 2 x 400 20K Radium Bulbs (is this also double ended bulb?)
- 2 x 250 10K HQI Double Ended
- PFO HQI Ballast
- Wires and misc parts
- 4x Spider Reflector
*Actually I will prefer the 4x250W German Aqualine setup over the second choice as many claims that it has the same intensity than average 400W (may be not HQI), has long life, not very resource intensive so I can save on electricity and so on. I noticed AB Aqualine has retrofit, but I cannot use their fixture as I already have a custom canopy which may not be able to hold a 50lbs+ fixture inside the canopy (what do you thinK?). I do not want to risk that crashing down anytime :eek2:
Thanks for your help.
By the way, I haven't tested the pump. I cannot test until my sump and plumbing ready. But just curious if you guys do any testing when you receive electrical equipment. Probably unrealistic for you guys due to volume, but just curious.
