reef Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 only available if you have won lotto. they are very expensive. if you are going to set a reef tank up i would go for 250w as 150w does not give you much options to go to a bigger tank, also the arcadia light look great except there is major problem with there timers as they cant handle the loading of the halides. i have seen many complaints over the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Yeah light is a tricky one. I have a friend with a tank, bow front, who as well as some fluros had 3x 150 watt halides. Had to get rid of 1 and raise the other 2 because of too much light. He tried to convince me to get 150s, but I went for 250 insted. Glad I did, whish I had 3, or 2x 400 watt! Upgrade the light, forget the arcadia/aquamedic stuff, its no better than stuff than can be found for 1/4 the price. unless ofcourse you have an unlimited budget.
