this one is reliable, but the cap kinda gets in the way, and the flame isnt that long, making lighting difficult.
if you were to remove the top, it would work perfect.

great reviews on bioshock and tomb raider. yet to play either though.
dark souls is a good game to get you pissed off.
i am too waiting on GTA. Cant come soon enough
would also be good for dual spectrum, mh and hps.
i mean, that could have been a ballast specific issue, but you wont get 1200 watt, no matter what you do.
some ballasts may run closer to 500w each though.
that small of a space it wont matter much either way for coverage.
you could go a 42" parabolic if you have the ability to cool it enough without an air cooled.
I also prefer the rocks.
I have opened a bag of the replacement my hydro store carries
and they look much the same as hydroton, cant imagine they perform any different.
