Halide Fixture Recommendations

ntfish · 01/26/2007, 02:26 PM

I'm looking to purchase a 48" halide with either pc or T5 supplemental lighting. I don't need more than a dual 150 or 175 watt for the halides and I have prepared myself to spend $600-$700. I have been looking at the Outer Orbit fixtures, so any input on those or something better would be appreciated. If I need to purchase bulbs separately to get a high PAR value, that's okay too.

Thanks,
Scott

i like the outer orbit its a nice fixture i would think about 250w halides in it because they will penetrate your tank better
