Anyone using the 165W Chinese (Marsaqua) eBay Fixture?

[Vapour1ze]

I currently have a Kessil A160WE over my frag tank, and LOVE IT!

But, here's my dilemma, I want to buy another Kessil, and move both Kessils up to my 93 cube to supplement my Radion G3Pro, for shading issues...

I was going to replace my Kessil over the frag tank with a Mars Aqua. Yay or nah?

I could just buy two more kessils and keep what I have going now, going. It works, and works good.

Just want an opinion.

Thanks!

Honestly I'd go with a OR T247 if you are gonna go with a cheap led unit. The Mars aqua aren't very reliable and I'm pretty sure you can't get a warranty.

For 200$ I'd go reef breeders though. Or another kessil.

I found mine for 150 on ebay

Oh. I'll check eBay. I may just stay kessil. For the price point I know it works. And sleek. And warranty.

Actually scrap that for a frag tank get a t5 fixture

 

[Vapour1ze]

Could do that too. T5s for Frag. And then I can move the kessil upstairs! Nice.

I have a 4 bulb t5 you can try out?

 

[Vapour1ze]

How long? Would I need bulbs? Frag tank is a breeder.

 

[Darienreefs7]

36" and you should probably get ati bulbs

I have a kessil over it now. With great results. But I. Want to move the kessil up with the radion over the dt. How much u want for the fixture? Have a pic?
