Reply With QuoteNoone can advise here?Am tempted to get a 125W HQL from Giesemann since they are relatively cheaper and seem as bright as the MH lights.
Anyone using Mecury-Vapour Lamps? I just came across this the other day while shopping for MH lamps. Any comments?

I see, I checked with them and it seems that its good for planted tank. The light is similiar to the Giesemann Nova series it seems. Does not look yellow to my naked eye. *sigh* I guess I will just get one set for my 2 feet just to try out.
Why not consider a 75w MH?I see, I checked with them and it seems that its good for planted tank. The light is similiar to the Giesemann Nova series it seems. Does not look yellow to my naked eye. *sigh* I guess I will just get one set for my 2 feet just to try out.
Thank you for your reply! I did consider a 75w MH however the pricing in comparison to a 125w HQL is the same. Assuming if I turn up the CO2 and ferts to match the lights, I can still make use of it for a bigger tank if I get one.
Get a 150w MH then, not much price difference (if any at all) if I remember correctly.Thank you for your reply! I did consider a 75w MH however the pricing in comparison to a 125w HQL is the same.

PS: Considering the height of a 2ft tank, 75w MH is more than enough. Its not about how much CO2 you can crank up, its about how much CO2 can dissolve in your tank.
