MH Systems... any recommendations?

[Kyleot]

I have decided to upgrade from PC lighting on my old tank to MH lighting on my new one. I know I need a 250 W setup, I am just unsure as to quality, well basically which is worth the money. I have narrowed it down to the Current USA Sunpod, and an Ice Cap system. Does anyone have any experience with these systems? Or any better recommendations? Thanks in advance!!

I just purchased a really great one in December of 2007. I bought an Outer Orbit 250w HQI unit with 4xT5 and 12 lunar LED's.

IMO these outer orbit units are the best bang for the buck. They are a little expensive, but you don't have to fool with making your own hood, messing with retro-fit stuff and that sort of thing. It's worth the extra $$ to me.

They just sit up top on your tank, and give off great light. I have a 14K 250 Pheonix and some 12k T5s that look very good IMO.

Just my 2 cents.
