or

http://fishneedit.com/150w-metal-halide-pendant-lig.html


pros of the fishneedit
- no reports of fires
- looks nice with the silver finish
- enogh power for sps
cons of the fishneedit
- no antinics or moonlights
- very small fixture 11" im not sure if that would give me the lighting for a 30in tank ?
- more expensive


pros for aquatraders
- has antinics
- cheaper
-longer fixture
- has cooling fans
- enogh power for sps
cons for aquatraders
- old reports of fixtures catching on fire
- not as nice looking as the fishneedit
- doesnt come with a hanging kit ( not saying i was going to hang it but i would no longer have that option)

I really liked the fact that the first one had the two actinic T5HO bulbs built into it.

What are you putting in the tank?

 

[ryeguy28]

i would agree the antinics are a massive plus

[fishbum]

Wow. I didn't realize reefs were the only thing that could be kept in SW.I was thinking there were also FO and FOWLR.
Thanks for the lesson.
