The Reef Shop http://www.thereefshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_49

I carry it, but I never use it(never even open the box:shhh: ) so no idea if it's any good. I will open one in next shipment in a month and I can tell you if I like it.

I have direct business with Sun Sun in the fishery business.

 

[Irisservice]

just a note, the one you listed is for a 60" tank...
You want the one with 2x54w t5s, not 2x80w t5s

 

[SIReefer]

Figures, I just ordered an aqualight elite w/2 250's & only pc's w/no m/l's for more $$$$ from Drs F&S. Looks like a sharp setup - the SunSun.

 

[Wolverine57]

Thanks to all! Your feedback have been appreciated!!
I've decided to stay with Current SunPod! I've just order the 2 x 250W HQI, rather stick with a known brand!

 

[Irisservice]

fine unit just get better mh bulbs for it...
the pcs are good, the mh are not..

 

[PalmTree]

Thats a nice looking unit. Not too much info or specs on reefshop's website though

 

[Wolverine57]

Thanks!

 

[Wolverine57]

PalmTree, that is why I was hesitated to order those lights. I've decided to stick with the Current SunPod

 

[Wolverine57]

If your referring to the Current Sunpod! What do you recommend?

 

[PalmTree]

Oh no I was referring to the ones being sold by reefshop.com. I really don't know much about SunPod. I'm running BlueWave 250 HQIs. Unfortuantely I am using magnetic ballasts but its not all that bad. I don't pay for electricity in my co-op and they are not all that loud in the least bit.

Speaking of the sunsun

I did as much research as i could and could not find an american supplier. Most suppliers are in australia including the reef shop. They are made in china. I'll probably call or write them tommorrow for an american supplier.

Have you consider about this one?

Yeah I don't think that reefshop ships to the US. In fact you;ll have trouble finding anything in Australia that will ship to the US but if you do let me know what they charge for overnight delivery.

I'm a heavy MH setup believer. he (Davidl919) will not be going for a t5 setup if i can get my 2cents in LOL :biggrin:

 

[PalmTree]

I like MH setups as well but maybe only because I don't pay for electricity in my co-op!! :lol:

I always wonder why some ppl prefer co-ops over condos.
