Anybody ordered from Aquatraders.com before. What was your experience?
 
Aquatrades is a good site IME dont waste yourmoney on the optional moonlights though they are very weak and worthless IMO
 
Wow aquatraders has some incredible prices on compact lighting hoods.... That is even cheaper than doing an outfit from ahsupply.... I could even get up to 4W/gallon for only $70... Can you use 12000K lights with freshwater? That seems high to me. Of course for $40 I could get 96W which would put me at 2W/gallon. Oh boy I have no idea if I should go for high light or low light.
 
IMO I would stay away from aquatraders, they have poor quality merchandise and CS form what Ive heard. If I were looking to purchse lighting I would go with the second one you have listed.
