![]() Thanks ! I was looking at this on Ocean Aquatics.. and this looks to be pretty good?? Can anyone advise?? The price is pretty decent as well for an all in one package. http://oceanaquatics.com/view_produc...250Reefstar14K
Thanks again.

![]() Depends on if you like the bulb in it or not.

![]() 14k is what I was going for.. either that or 20k. The only concern I'd have is with the brand of bulb it comes with. Otherwise, would this be a good setup to use?

![]() I've read of some people having bad wiring with their Hamiltons. Not sure what generation of fixture that applies to though, but they were the Reef Star ones. Also, the reflector in those pendants aren't as good as the ones that come with the PFO or the SLS, but the ReefStar is a lot lower profile than either of those. Its too bad you weren't looking earlier, I just sold my pair of SLS pendants.

![]() Hmm, do you have links to some SLS pendants? I can't find any on Ocean Aquatics
![]() Also, I'm glad I am asking around about pendants, otherwise I would have grabbed that one for sure , without knowing any possible backround info on it... so thanks.

![]() I have the pendent you linked to Scott, over my ritteri cube. I like it, and the light is fine enough. I would budget the replace the bulb in about 6 months, and then you can switch to any light you want.
Alternatively, you can probably talk to Wendell about ordering a different lamp with it if you really don't want the Hamilton 14k, I'm sure he'd work with you on that. Never hurts to ask, anyhow. But FWIW, I'm using that lamp, and I don't really have any issues with it. It "works for me."

![]() Cool, thanks Tony. That's all I am basically looking for.. something that "works for me" haha. I don't want/need to spend a fortune on it, it just needs to be reliable, have you ever run into any problems with yours Tony?? If they are pretty stable, reliable units.. I may further look into it
