    Me and L|o are in the midst of planning to set up a 4 or possibly 5-foot marine tank, after successfully keeping a 2 feet tank for quite some time now.

    We are planning to use metal halide lamps on our 4/5-footer, and we only have 2 brand options currently: azoo and dupla metal halides. Does anyone have other brands to recommend?

    Oh yeah, we may be putting up our few months old 2 feet metal halide lamp as well as our teco chiller (R240 or 200 i think) for sale. But I'd have to check back with L|o

    CiaoZ!

    i hv not tried azoo but dupla wan is by osram. its only 5500k...very yellow. i recommmend u use ab aqualine or blv.these 2 r one of the best in s'pore.both r 10k so its nice crisp white.osram no 10k. aqualine can be bght at aquamart for $150. blv can be bght at reefworld at $130. blv is olso called ushio or hamilton in the US. arcadia wan changes spectrum very quickly.
    IMO i think blv is the best mh bulb in s'pore.

    Just change my metal halide light a month ago for my 5 feet tank.

    Previously my Metal Halide light was this setup

    10,000 k + blue + 10,000 k

    The center potion of the tank is not bright enough. I would not recommend this for 5 feet tank. 4 feet tank I believe is OK.

    Now my NEW metal Halide setup

    10,000k + blue x 2pcs + 10,000k + blue x 2 pcs + 10,000k

    Is very bright now. [:]

    there is this German brand called Gisselmann(?) that is carried by Marine life @ hong leong. Looks pretty good enough for me to want to get rid of my dupla when the cash allows!

    Hey BFG,

    Brand new Teco...model R200...will be sufficient...

    It should be around 800-850 SGD.

    Hope this helps.
