hehe, ok.. never heard of the "aqua" model but I will beleive ya :D

anyways I think you will be surprised by the AB if they ever test it, not promissing anything but just a hunch I have... hopefully they test it soon I am getting curious.

I hate it when people test at 3", it makes the numbers seam so high LOL ( what formulae would I use to convert the 3" results to 18" results)

this test does show some interesting things though.. acording to this the DE 1000K Ushio 150 watt puts out a very small amount of UV a/b compared to the Ushio mogual 175 watt and 250 watt bulbs which would sugest that it is perfectly fine to run SOME DE bulbs with out glass.. hmmm that means if you could make the reflector right you could have a very compact MH bulb in your hood.
