Jbo MH? Should I?

[zanoshanox]

Oh thats pretty cool. Well heres the thing...If i can have the 38 at my mosm then im gonna use the MH for that, but if i cant then i wanna get the other light for the 46 gallon at my dads. Thats why i need to find out tonight so i can place a bid and also so i can tell you whether i can or not.

I don't know if you guys know this, but that whole 175 watt DE MH bulb thing is a selling point. A RUDE, and low selling point. They do this to think you have to buy their bulbs, and their bulbs are J U N K. Take a look at the replacement bulb picture...on the box is says 150 watt. They're 150 watt bulbs.

 

[zanoshanox]

OOhh...wow thats great...i just bid on it, lol. Can't they get busted for that?

 

[fanker]

no its a 175w. xm does it too. i dont know why they do it but they do, its not that they are 150w its just that they say 150w.

 

[fanker]

did u talk 2 ur parents? since u made the bid im guessing they said no? did u already get a paycheck? and buying things for ur tank? that a boy!!!lol

 

[zanoshanox]

Oh ok lol good, well i ordered it for the bow...hope it works out. will i be able to do SPS?

 

[zanoshanox]

Hahaah yess!! I get paid on thurs like 200$ i think but also i bought stuff out fo my paycheck....lol but dude i am giving that whole paycheck to my mom cause she bid on it. So there goes that...lol and i havent even bought the tank yet!

 

[fanker]

nice. that should be able to keep sps. r u goin to use the 250w also?

 

[zanoshanox]

If i am allowed to keep the cube i will just use the 250 on that, but if i can then im givin it to you and im gonna try to use them both on the 46

 

[fanker]

lol what kind of bulb does the light fixture come with? what K

 

[zanoshanox]

It doesnt say but it thge pc's are blue 03 actionics so im guessing its probably 10k

 

[fanker]

ok. that will be good growth

 

[zanoshanox]

Yeah, im hoping to grow everything but algea!!! ungh its impossible to red in my 20 gl. But yeah i think im gonna run a fluval along wiht the sump, do you think thats a good idea?

 

[fanker]

[zanoshanox]

XM makes a 175 watt SE MH, not DE. And, I have no idea if they could get busted for that or not. My guess would be probably, as that is probably considered fraud.

 

[zanoshanox]

Wow I guess I shoudl do a little more research on company background before making more purchases.

 

[fanker]

no im saying that the xm screw in bulbs all say 175 on the pictures but they are all different wattage.

Junk, I had the 20 inch version. Within a week I had to replace one moonlight, after a month the P.C quit working. Good luck trying to find a 175 watt replacement bulb. I replaced the hqi bulb after a month because of the algea blooms (cheap bulb).Had to use a 150 bulb. JUNK JUNK JUNK
