![]() Nope, GHL isn't that type of company. 2+ years in development means very little to be desired. I think you meant ecotech with had 3 versions out within a year and they still haven't hit the nail square yet.

![]() i certainly like the halide pics better but that tells us very little about how the two actually compare in person. sounds like you like the halides better though which is all that matters!
Some cameras seem to handle LEDs poorly as well. My DSLR takes pics just fine under my LEDs yet my iPhone makes the tank look crazy blue when in reality it's not like that. |

I wasn't taking a shot at GHL, all I was saying that in 6 months there will be a new product that is the must have/envy of the town kinda thing. Whether it be ecotech/ghl/AI or whom ever. I just personally think that LEDs have a long way to go yet. |

![]() I'm not saying that there won't always be something new and exciting. I'm saying I'm not going to drop $1500-3000 every 6 months on lighting.

![]() I'm not sure anybody would and I don't understand your point. You know these fixtures don't expire right? You don't have to buy a new one every time one comes out.

![]() My point is 1.5 years ago my DIY fixture was pretty decent. Today it still does the job, but is clearly lacking. They have come out with all sorts of LED colors/spectrums since.
I don't have the funds to be buying new **** every 6 months to a year because the technology has advanced, and what seemed good today, turns out to be lacking vital spectrums/colors/the list goes on, tomorrow. Its quite obvious,what was good 6-12 months ago have/has "flaws". So until the technology has stabalized I will hold off. I will stick to something that has been around longer then 4-5 years, while they smooth out the wrinkles. Yes I realize fixtures don't expire, thanks for the heads up though. When said fixture turns out to be a dud in 6 months refer to the above paragraph. You seem to have taken it personally when I asked about the Mitra. I'm not sure why as I would love to have a couple over my tank, as you stated they have done there due diligence, and made probably the best unit to date. |
