That pH meter looks a little hairy. How is the performance??

I bought 2 of those and they work great. When you are below the 4's or up past the 7s, it can take a little time for the meter to register. Like you have to wait a few seconds as it creeps up 7.1, 7.2,7.3 etc.. but its a small price to pay for such an accurate reader, and i very rarely have to read below 4 or above 7 anyways so it works great for me. They aren't that waterproof also. be careful.

Yes you can order there... You might find it cheaper elsewhere, that was just an example.

Stumbled in here with my cousins down in Florida to pick up a bottle of clonex.. Ended up having an entirely new setup shipped back home.. Sick deals on Quantum Digital Ballast setups w/ Hortilux bulb & Raptor 8" reflectors i think i paid $399 a piece (retail over $600, raptors damn expensive but awesome).. Got a Hydrologic Stealth RO 200GPD for $199 (MSRP $315). Buddy was cool as hell and legit. Everything arrived the day we arranged and wrapped carefully. Verifed him through HydroFarm & Sunlight Supply. Just a heads up... Had House & Garden too (my fave)!!

does anyone know how hot this light gets and if it would be good in a 4'x4' tent or should i get an air cooled reflector?

A 400W get pretty hot. I have it hooked up to a cooltube and still see a 10F temp rise when the light goes on vs off. Without a cooltube you can expect a 15F rise probably. Of course if you have a good sized fan blowing over the light that will help immensly. In a 4x4 tent it should definitely be fine, just make sure you have a good exhaust. My 400w is in a 2x3 cab.

i too have a 4'x4' tent with 4 computer fans in the top vents blowing outward. having exhaust is good, mine creates a small vacuum and you can see the walls bowing inward. im just using cfls and dont have to worry bout heat, been thinkin bout gettin a light like that tho, where i am the extra 15F would probably help me out, havnt had a day over 70 in a while

You're lucky man, its been 95-100 here the past few weeks, my room is constantly 85-95F 
anybody think this's a good deal for a 1000 watt air cooled light with reflector and ballast?

Yeah that's not a bad deal. It has free shipping which is good. You could save maybe $50 building your own cooltube and buying everything seperatly. $300 with a cooltube is a good price.

Just a suggestion, but the 42 watt light bulbs at 1000 bulbs is $3.42 a bulb, but if you buy 6 or more its $2.88. Which is a big difference . And since most people would use probably more then 6 bulbs it might be good to list that price also.
BTW $2.88 a 42 watt bulb is DIRT CHEAP and really efficient compared to other higher wattage cfls
