Lighting question

Doot77 · 10-19-2007, 01:02 PM

I was looking for some new lights for my 110 gal 60"long tank and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these lights. I am running a FOWLR system now but would like to go to a reef later down the road. Any and all input is appreciated.

That light gets some GREAT reviews and is one I have looked at myself many times.

You have a PM

I have an Outer Orbit and have had no problems at all. At least at the current price I would go for it. I paid a lot more for my 72in w/3 150 w MHs.

Yeah I saw that they were reconditioned with new bulbs, but it still seems reasonably priced ??? or do you think thats to high. Its hard to find lighting in 60" sizes it must not be very common tank size anymore.

i found this a bit fishy as well, note the numbers i bolded.

how can it be a 14 day money back guarantee, but after 7 days they will replace or repair?

Too much "wishy-washy" language going on there. If it introduces confusion then stay away from it. Trust me .... that's the voice of experience speaking.
