ROIII vs PFO mini

[Dr.Ocean]

Hi,am using it with 150w but Iam having a hard time choosing which one..Which one will reflect more light?

I prefer the ROIII. Only real difference between the two is the reflector. Eventhough the PFO uses a shiny, mirrored reflector, I think the ROIII's relfector is actually slightly better.

The RO III reflector, IIRC, did much better in Sanjay's reviews than the PFO mini.

I had a PFO mini and bought two RO IIIs instead. i never tested the PFOs but I'm actually really happy with the RO IIIs. They cover the tank completely from front to back.

ROiIis are more square output. PFO is more rectangular

RO3 would be a better choice.

I actually kind of like my ROIII. Its sitting next to a Geissman, and just has a much wider spread. It covers a huge area. The geissman is like a spotlight. 12" above the water and it really only covers a 12x12 area, whereas the ROIII covers a 18x24 area fine at about 6" above the water.

Thanks every one. The ROIII it is.
