dieselndixie Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 well, the price is right...should I be concerned? (55g btw) http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageA...PROD&ProdID=275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 175W HQI? JEBO/Odyssea is the only one I know of that makes a 175W HQI currently. That would definitely limit the bulb choices. 150W HQI or 250W HQI are much more common. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Odyysea is from Jebo. I have heard bad things, including house fires, about Jebo MHs. However, this was all hearsay so I don't have first hand knowledge. My brother in law has 2 PC lights from them and he has had no problems. I don't know if that helps or not.

Dhayden Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I have a 20" version. I am pretty impressed with the product. Lately is sounds like a jet engine when the HQI fires up, but. Other than that, I would say a quality product. I have replaced the bulbs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammondegge Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 that certainly is an unusually good price. i have no experience with that manufacturer. most bulb makers do not make 175w DE bulbs though, they make 150w. it would be interesting to know if the 150w bulbs would run on those 175w ballasts. that is such a low price that i would be really looking closely at reviews and ReefCentral threads for any experiences. g'luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselndixie Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 well, if its too good to be true...it usually isnt, but I have their PC lights, with no issues....however, it was my first set of SW lighting, so I have no comparo. I have 265w of PC now on my 55, and would like to start looking for a future upgrade. what suggestions do yall have...is it worth going T5,VHO, or just go all the way and do MH. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
