doubleduece --Thanks! Yes it is by the way, it has gotten huge!
stephensturman -- Awesome im glad it did!
Ok so the fixture showed up at 7:48pm woohoo! I rushed to tear it apart like a kid on christmas!
So it had a big gouge in the box when I got it, a little concerned, but they actually packed it quite well. It was a box inside a box with bubble wrap.
I can see why the ballast has got to go! Look at how small it is, it hardly weighs anything. It also has a hard time kicking the MH, I had to try several times. I will be ordering a new ballast first thing in the morning!
I actually like the look of the fixture itself. It is slim and sleek so it some what fits the RSM.
Yes I did take the bubble wrap out before turning it on
Here it is turned on all, all the lights, it blinded me!
So first thing tomorrow morning I will checking to see what it looks like on the tank. If it passes the "coolness" text then I will order a new Phoenix 14000k bulb and a new ballast right away! I cant wait to see the shimmer, woohoo! Not to bad for $159.00 with a little more cash it will be pretty nice I think and still less money than the name brand ones.
I will give you my impression of it tomorrow on the tank with new pics then!
Have a great night!
