gauging availability 250 watt HQI

[danny zubot]

I'm debating changing my lighting to 250 watt HQI. Anyone in the Calgary area selling one?

Ya, I saw that and I'm counting on buying one if I can find a fixture for it.

Wendell for Ocean Aquatics in Van gave me a good deal on a PFO 250W DE fixture and shipped it to me as well.

Is that this reef star system?

No the PFO is different. I saw the Hamilton and myself would prefer that one as it has a larger reflective spread.

Actually if I remember correctly, Sanjay Joshi did some tests on spread & other things on the DE Reflectors awhile back, if it wasn't him it was someone, search Reef Central, anyhow, Sunlight Supply just edged out PFO, I can't recall exactly where Hamilton ended up, but it wasn't near the top.

They all work for what they were intended for.

I should have said "it looks a lot bigger" than the PFO... :lol: Whether or not that equates to the reflective ability I don't know, but I have just a small central area of light with my PFO over the 45g.
