chris, bioplast has some nice HQI as well... above 1k. why not get those cheaper ones and use the money you save for a chiller []

there is another brand made from china, Weipro... Keong seong around $600+ for a 4ft (2x150mh)

[www.Aquatic-Store.com]

hamilton and AB/am also make nice lights

Please email for exact shipping price



ELECTRONIC BALLAST
Weight: 45.00

looks very nice. and at that price its more than a match for arcadia.


except I can't really tell if its 2 bulb mh? and at 48'
does it give 5ft spread? (my new tank size).

- also: is www.aquaticstore.com in singapore or what?

[Simon]

chris, at that price, I too will get the arcadia one..

aquastore is based in the states

(ps. have to asked dupla?)

[loupgarou]

I haven't asked dupla.. dupla got distributer here meh..

anyway friday going to see a second hand set (3mth old).

meanwhile. here's another lobang.

its so cheap I dunno what to do.

ie: go for cheap or go for looks.

http://web.singnet.com.sg/~osaka246

DUAL MH Light
2x 10k 150w de 230ac
S$320

look, its a 2 HQI system . according to the guy. its on consignment basis or something. the set is assembled in thailand with all german parts.
however, there's no pulley system or whatever you call it. so its something to get elsewhere.

the other item. which is probably going to be equally cheap (ie: probably aroudn $500-$600)

MH Light 10k
2 x 150W MH Light
4 X PL Light

however, there's no stock in singapore yet, its a supplier trying to gauge interest.

[Simon]

Aquatechnic is the distributor for dupla here in SG

[loupgarou]

dupla is $$$EXPENSIVE$$$$ (relatively to all the rest in singapore).

ok:
meanwhile, I was earlier at ginza plaza getting some yamatoes from lake aquarium,
I passed by Eralco trading (inside ginza plaza at the rear), and they are carrying MH lights from Giesemann

Chris, Giesemann is in this year's aquarama.. you may want to check out the other brands as well

[plantmania]

Arcadia coming out with a overtank luminaire version for metal halide lamps (2x, double-ended), previously there's only T8 & T5, within the next quarter... Pretty cool, as I had seen it at aquarama(Qianhu's booth), there's the rippling effect . Would love to get it for my planted tank if the price is within budget.

P.S : I forgot to ask if the bulbs can be replaced with commerical bulbs from osram , etc, perhaps someone going to aquarama tomorrow can ask for me

[loupgarou]

oh. you mean on top of tank
http://www.arcadia-uk.com/images/overtank_02.gif

well, I think it will face the same problems as the weipro. heat.

meanwhile, at this year's aquarama.
other MH options

Dupla (aquatechnic quoted me these prices. these are RRP)
Dupla Combi 3 x 150 W S$2450.00
Duplalux 3 x 150W S$2970.00

Aquatechnic booth also displayed lights by
SOF***** (sorry, don't know the spelling. maybe sofilgil)

Giesemann
http://www.giesemann.de/en/home/
(the nova2 is really slick.but the price at least online same as the other x 2 HQI types..lol.)


Dymax clip on

Jebo

AB aquamedic (also looks nice)
http://www.aqua-medic.de/index0.html

Aqualight ( i think I saw them, but then again, maybe not)
http://www.aqualight.de/

there was one more china brand, really cheap pendant (single bulb). dunno what brand.

[plantmania]

Freaking expensive aren't they.... DIY for 3 x MH bulbs only cost around 500 bucks(depending on wattage of bulbs used)... Maybe I should get a cheap but stylish china made design , dismantle and remake it to use better quality components....

[loupgarou]

you're paying for aesthetics. (still there's a point : eg: why dupla more expensive than arcadia..heh gold plated izit..)



otherwise you can get a construction work site MH light at just $40

Hi loupgarou, the arcadia Slimline 3 series also got a mini version (40 cm x 25 cm) and can be fitted with 150 Watt MH. Look is neat and the price is acceptable ~ S$500+
Should be a alternative for a small and medium tank..
