[Arsenal11]

Nope, tired of getting burnt on the pendants while doing maintance, i have very small clearance where the tank is, going with 24 48" t5's.

 

[JxMetal]

24!!!!! That's nuts!

I just got a T-5 fixture this week and really like it. I really like how I can customize the color that I want.

 

[Arsenal11]

ts a 8' tank so 12 over each side, not that nuts.

 

[JxMetal]

[JxMetal]

Also, where's the cheapest place for the bulbs?

 

[rams]

you getting 24 really good reflectors?

 

[Arsenal11]

May be keeping the mh's, i would have killed to get these at this price when i was looking & no interest, so i may have to keep them.

 

[JxMetal]

They'll sell, should keep a few for that 120 you're lookin for!

Kurt...highly tempting but I don't have the electrical capacity to run them. I am running everything off a 15 amp service. :-(


It is an awesome deal though!!!!

 

[hckycoz]
