tertansin2 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Has anyone tried the radium 150W hqi bulbs yet. What do you think about them and maybe you could post some pictures? I thinking of try them out on my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm curious too. I'm running Phoenix 14.5K bulbs right now; anyone know offhand how the PAR compares? I'd rather see in person though, pictures aren't much good at showing lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just bought one of these bulbs and will be putting it in to fire up for the first time in a few days. I'll keep you guys posted. I'm a long way away, but anyone interested in looking at the real color is welcome to come and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its a great bulb. I have one over my Nanocube right now. Great color and great growth. I would buy one again. Im not sure on the par ratings but I am guessing they gotta near the top just as any other Radium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 According to Sanjay's site, the Radium has a PPFD of 47... the Phoenix is 37. If I stick with 150W bulbs, I think I may have to check 'em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
