I've ordered the Hydras for my tank. Four bulbs and now a ballast in seven months and I am cutting my losses.

I don't understand Kiwi; you are cutting what losses? Not the Hydras, I hope....

You're right, that's not very clear is it? I meant with my Metal Halide fixtures. I love the color etc. but really hate the fixture I have. No night lights, much less a moon cycle and burning through half the cost of the LED fixtures in replacement bulbs since I got it up and running was starting to boil my blood. (No, I'm not touching the bulbs with my fingers etc. the fixture just sucks) Losing one of my MH ballasts on Saturday was the last straw.

Upgrading my metal halide fixture to something I could live with would cost as much or more than changing to LEDs so I thought I'd give the Hydras a shot.

I know its not on your list but just picked up a ecotech radion gen2 and love it.. one of the best moves I made.

It has all the time,intensity and colour control you could want its really quiet and has storm mode which can be wireless with your vortechs (if you have them) and create waves with your lightning storm.

I did look at pretty much the same fixtures you mentioned above and chose the radions for the colour control

you would only need one for your size tank but I would recommend the Gen2 or 3 as there intensity is a little higher then gen1 if you end up considering the radions

thats my 2 cents....

if i were going to buy two hydras for $900 id throw the extra $99 and do the ghl mitras 6200

im sure opions will vary though
