Well i think i finally am gonna pull the trigger. Im trying to decide between Reef Optix III Plus 250W Pendant, Blue Wave 1 250W Ballast Pulse Start, and Pheonix 14k 250 watt Double Ended HQI OR Aqua Medic Ocean Light 250watt HQI with a 15k bulb.

Both are around the same price. I dont think the Reef Optix has hanging brackets included, anyone know of where i can get those? Im leaning more towards the Reef Optix just because the housing is black.

One thing to consider is that the Blue Wave ballast is HUGE, but from what I've read the ReefOptix has the better reflector. Both options are great choices.
