ebay lighting system

[ckeadle]

Has anyone ever bought a lighting system from these folks... seems very inexpensive... you usually get what you pay for but I thought I would ask...

$139 bucks for a 250w HQI setup is pretty darn good.

They actually have really good feedback and are a power seller... interesting

looks like some oddtsea fixture. Take a look at aquatraders.com

looks similar but this price can't be beat... at least I don't think so.

It looks identical to the odyssea fixture I'm using except mine is 48". Basically looks like half of what I have. So far it has worked great for me with the exception of one pc ballast burning out. cost me 15 bux to replace so no biggie, Only time will tell but I like it so far. BTW will that fit on a 24g Aquapod?

I have the 72" version of that fixture which I bought from that guy on Ebay.

Paid Monday, Got it Wednesday! still working like a champ and you simply cant beat the price. I'm even happy with the bulbs and its been little over 5 months

They have upgraded the ballasts. old ballasts did get some negative feedback in the early 2000's.
I did so much research before buying and got nothing but positive feedback.

" No refund, No returns" there must be a reason for that, I would be leery on anything that is no returns and no refunds

 

[ckeadle]

they actually have a 7 day return policy... not too great but it is something.

Looks like the same product sold through aquatraders, for the same price. May want to compare their return policy's.

I almost bought mine from aquatraders but ran into some nasty feedback so I just bought from Ebay. What I did was contact they sellers previous buyers and they were all happy still.

packaging was very good too. the bulbs were installed but they were individually wrapped in bubble wrap.

I almost bought a coralife version for almost $1500. But that turned out to be MADE IN CHINA as well.

good luck

well I just went ahead an purchased from ebay as well. I will let everyone know how it turns out... you can't beat these prices...
