Hello,
Gosh I can’t say how sorry I feel for those who have bought Ecotech and hydra (one in the same). But for all those who laughed at me and said I was insane for going with current usa marine pro model 4117, I’m so glad. Yes they are not as fancy and no wifi but power wise they will stay right with any of the radions or hydras and I was clumsy and dropped one of them into my tank. Each one of mine is 72 inch long I may add and I was out of warranty. Current sent me a brand new one over night and told me to throw the old one away.
Their customer service is by far the best I have ever experienced. My tank has done very well with their lights , pumps, and dc return pumps.
I will add that when I was doing volunteer work for some local aquariums, neither company would give any of the aquariums a discount, even if they bought 20 plus units. Most of the aquariums I see and still talk to, run Chinese black box current usa, mh or t5. I have seen some mars aqua and few other no names and all their tanks look great. But with my limited experience, with both companies was never even mediocre, it was usually terrible.
I believe the op will be a lot happier with the black boxes over the hydras. At least if they break you don’t need a second mortgage on your home to buy more.
