Question on lighting
 

Hello

I have a 7ft tank

Im currently using 2 Current sunpod 150w and one 250w

MH fixture. but it doesnt seem very bright

Im thinking about getting hamilton protostar includes

3x250w MH and 4x96 PC is this going to be upgrade?

how is hamilton compare to current sunpod

Hamilton makes good lighting systems. I have been using a Hamilton system with 2 x 250 watt SE with 2 x 96 watt compacts for about 5 years. It works great. I like it.

I know they build their lighting systems in the US - that may be one reason why it has lasted so long.

can someone compare those two lights for me?

I have a SunPod over my 29 -- 250 version with a Phoenix bulb. Over my 75 I have a Hamilton fixture, 250 watts times 2 with the Phoenix bulbs. I am pretty sure it is protostar, but not sure since I bought it used.

Anyways, taking into account that the 75 has two bulbs, there really isn't much of a difference in brightness.
