MH bulb compatibility

Hi,

My buddy has an outer orbit HQI light fixture. It's the one with 2 150 watt MH lamps. He's looking to replace them, and outer orbit recommends to use the powerpaq ones. Any idea it the fishneedit.com bulbs are compatible with his fixture?

cheers.

 

Those bulbs will work and will be fine for corals that don't need much light. What type of corals does he grow?
If he's growing SPS then I would not buy those cheap bulbs.

 

so 150w mh is not the same as a 150w mh?

 

Yes any 150W MH DE Bulb will work in the fixture

that's good to know. I was under the understanding that bulbs are specific to the fixtures.

He does have SPS as well as a clam in his tank right now. They are doing well, and his MH bulbs are over 2 years old. I guess for the price, if they are garbage, he'll just buy better ones.

 

well if he just wants to try cheap ones ive seen them cheaper like 12.50

 

thanks for the info guys. I ordered the fishneedit bulbs for the time being with my lights.

cheers.
