hey there... i have a MH system with 3 bulbs...
the bulbs that im using currently (came with the used setup) are:
Printed on bulb:
Hamilton Tech
MH 175W
14000K Blue
and the big arse ballast box is completely black with just this one sticker that says:
Model: AF3MH175
Serial: xxxxx
175W 120V 5.5Amps
Energy Savers Unlimited, INC.
Torrance, CA 90502
now one of my bulbs decided it doesnt wanna work anymore... I know I should replace all the bulbs as if one is dead its probably likely that the others are past the year mark... I picked the setup up around OCT/NOV 08'...
so thats the info on my lighting...
I just wanna know should I go with Hamilton bulbs again... or is there other brands that are worth looking into... I still want the 14000K because i dont run any blue supplement... and I figure i'll still need to be buying 175W as thats probably what the ballast box is built for... but in the end is there any other bulb brands that i should be looking into... and where to buy from? ive checked out marinedepot.com and they have 4 different brands of bulbs for my setup... just dont know much about brands of lighting just yet... here's the stuff i found on marinedepot...
AquaMaxx - 59.99
Blue Life SPS - 62.99
German Ushio - 64.99
Hamilton - 79.99
any help would be great... thanks again...
