I am looking for a MH lightin system for my 75 gallon and thinking of getting 2-150 Sunpod HQI system. I have 4x110 VHO with ice cap ballast that I would be looking to sell. Bulbs are only about 2 months old and ballast is only about 1.5 yrs old. I was wondering what people thougt of the HQI system I am looking at and what should I ask for my VHO set up. Also the VHO set is housed in a real oak plywood canopy that I made. Thanks in advance for your in put.

Thank you both. Keep those opions coming if you would please. I read a bad reveiw on line and got a little nervous.

I have the 20" 150W on my 15 gallon. It works nice so far. I kinda wished I spent the extra $$ and got the sundial instead. The LED's on the Sunpod are only visible when the HQI is off. I would have liked the actinics that the sundial provides. Plus the Sundial has built in timers. But the sundial has no LED's.

I like the look of the 14K bulb and I am trying to get away from using actinic suppliments too many bulbs to replace and too colstly. I am thinking of using the LED's in place of the actinics to create the dawn to dusk effect.
