Are these any good?

Hello was wondering if this brand of lighting is any good? I guess in comparison to Aquamedic?

im not sure about those lights but be careful with aqua traders, be sure to look for some feedback around here before you buy. thats about all i have to say about that

Search the venders forum for aqua traders. Bad feedback with their lights and lighting units.

That is what I thought. There is some guy trying to trade me a 150watt HQI unit with Supplimental Actinics and moonlighting for my Aqua Medic Ocean Light Pro Pendant 250watt DE 14k Phoenix bulb. My fixture is only 3 months old and his is 6 months old. He is acting like this should be a straight up trade. My fixture was 259 new not including the extra for the 14K phoenix bulb and his was 159 new.

I knew there was something funny, because he was acting all hasty and shady.

Thanks everyone.

Hey,

Can anyone show me the link in the vendors forum that shows how shisty these guys and their fixtures are? I dont have a premium account and cannot search for it. I tried looking through 20 archives and got frustrated.

Thanks!
