HALIDE vs. Halide

[Erich]

Guys which one would you suggest. Also where is the best prices Foster & Smith's look but I have to believe someone must have a better price.

If you can afford the Current USA light that would be the way to go. If you are looking for something inexpensive you could go with odyssea, the new models now have 3 power cords and they also have European style ballasts and come with a 6 month warranty, coralife is a good mid grade light like odyssea but overpriced. If you have the money the 4 the lights I would recommend either Current USA, Hamilton, PFO or Maristar.

Before I came across a used Aquaspacelight, I was going to purchase the Outer Orbit over the Aqualight Pro based on past experience with Current Usa product(260pc's). Price wise they are almost the same but I think you get a little more quality with the Orbit.
