These are the new Maxpect Etherial Infinite.
Specifically model E8-230.
More wattage with less draw than the Radions.
Basically, newer tech.
My old Radions are G3 Pros. I have 5 over my 8' 240 and 2 more over my 4' 120.
With the greater spread of the Etherials, i think I only need 4...
The 120 is going Freshwater Planted, so i will ultimately have 7 Radions going up for sale. For those interested, all my G3's were the last of the run. They have the G4 ballasts that were to come out very shortly after I got the G3's. Ill make sure they are all pretty and clean before going back into their original boxes for sale... I feel like I can pass the G3 Pro's along for something like $150 ea. If someone were interested in all 7 locally, and have cash money in hand, I might make someone a crack smokin deal...
Those who know me know Im not out to rip anyone off and this has never been about the money for me, but ...... This is an expensive hoby and I'd like to recoup some of the cost of the new lights .....
My plan at the moment is to install/reboot/combine the 120 and 240 in the time between Christmas and New Year's, because i am taking some much needed time off and plan on spending a bit of time getting the tanks back to where they need to be to come back to their (hopefully) full potential.. cause right now, they are dogshit.... Mostly because of a crash and my being pissed off about the crash...
Ill post updates as i go... Build threads are fun, and I haven't done one is what seems like fo-eva...
Stay tuned...
