Fluorex HO Fluorescent Aquarium Lights

[biju708]

Hi All,
I am currently doing some research on new lights for my 90gal and came across this website claiming to have the best aquarium lights for a fraction of the cost for MH. what do you think ? I already contacted the owner and he seems to be a great guy very helpful.

Those appear to be remarked Lights of America lights. You can purchase those at any home depot
They are great for refugiums or even soft corals. Not even close to Metal Halides though..
What type of lighting needs do you have, perhaps we can help you find the best deal that properly fits your needs?

That is nothing but a 65 watt HO flouresent bulb. You will need (very rough gauge) atleast 4 watts/gal of water. On my 90 gal I have 500 watts of MH and 192 watts of PC's. I would not recommend buying it for a reef tank unless it was a small nano tank and then I would prefer T5's or PC's.

Thanks I was almost going to buy 4 of them. I have a 90 gal currently I only have soft corals in it but was planning to upgrade the lights to start keeping some hard corals and clams in the future.

I will then look into buying 2 MH retro kits so that I can fit them in my new hood.

biju708, the LOA fixtures are pretty good lights. Many people use them for lighting their sumps, but I certainly don't think they'd be very good for illuminating the tank. Even for a FOWLR they fall short.
