aquagiant vs. better name

[sharuq1]

My fiance seems to think it would be good to buy one of the cheap aquagiant mh light setups that have a fan and t5's. I however, disagree.... Problem is I cannot seem to come up with enough reasons why I would rather go with something other than aquagiant. Personally, I think alot of their products are...well...cheap.

If you have opinions for or against post them up, also if you have a favorite combo or just plain mh fixture that doesn't break the bank tell me about it.

thanks all!

As with most things: you get what you pay for. Ask your fiance if she would like a lab created diamond or the real deal?

Check out the Outer Orbit HQI/T5 fixtures at www.oceanaquatics.com
They are around the same price as the Aquagiant ones but better quality (and LED lunar lights). Free shipping also if the fixture is not over 36". My buddy bought his TEK t5 fixture from them and the service was great/fast shipping. A better option to consider IMO.

just to be silly, the diamond thing is a bad analogy, cause its the same product except one was created in the earth and one was created by man, but it still functions the same and has the same properties :P

The anology was more towards quality not how they are made.

Having only seen one aquagiant fixture in use, it is not fair for me to judge. Aquagiant's track record is not that great from what I have read.
