Lighting Brand Reputations

OwNeD162 · 07/01/2008, 06:46 PM

Hey guys and gals,
Just looking at a few MH lighting options and wanted to know what kind of reputation these brands have overseas. I will be getting a 2 x 150W MH + 2/4 x Atnitics from one of these brands.

AquaOne (People are 50/50 over hear about that one)
AquaMedic (Hardly anyone has heard of them but everyone who has said they are brilliant)
AquarWorld (Look a bit low cost to me)

Any other brands that people can suggest I should look into will be appreciated

I know that Geissman is probably the best brand out there, but over hear they are ridiculously expensive!!!

Thanks,
OwNeD

You should list what kind of ballast that you will be using. For an example a Haliton mech with a Ushio bulb not a good idea. Good luck

I think the problem is that AquaOne and AquaWorld bulbs are not common here in the states ( if they even have a presence here at all) so I don't think you're going to get much feedback.

Ahhhh, ok, thanks very much!
I was wondering why no one replied, probably cause no one had any idea what brands i was talking about.
Ok, thanks.
