I am probably going to have to go with this but I'd figure id ask herre first.

DIY HO T5 would be considered but 24-36in.

Let me know what you have, I'll pay cash or trades. Ty

Ty,

Don't know if this might be of help to address a problem but it might be useful.

When I first got my d120 (Used) Over a year ago I noticed that my SPS colors were fading away. ( I think you helped me with warranty) To sum up the thread I tried two 36 inch super actinic for about 2 months along with a string of 420nm LEDS. Then I tried a new panel config and noticed amazing difference from the side the new panel was on vs the old. I took apart the old panels and noticed the UVs were burnt out just like rogers.
Since then all panels have been replaced and I have found a great layout after a year of trail and error. I can honesty say I am happy with growth and coloration with my d120. For short time I was very close to going back to MH. I will try to update thread this weekend.

I remember reading that thread.
I have no issues with the D120,

I actually made the layout after my own trials this is my 4th gen d120. (our group buy was liek my 4th or 5th haha) I have had this layout for close to a year if not more. I got the color spot on.

I am propagating Sunburst Anemones and wanted a more orange color. They get oranger under T5s.

I wish I could capture a true color pic of my tank but my Iphone hates LED.

I have an Icecap 660 and a wiring harness if you're interested in that. You'd have to get the endcaps and bulbs, but it would be a quick project.

I have two 34" 96watt power compacts wired to a Fulham Workhorse 7 ballast with three spare bulbs. I'm not sure if PCs will work for what you're trying to do but I'll sell them to you for $25.00 if they will.

Not a fan of Icecap especially not for T5s. Hmm I'll prob just end up getting the BRS kit eventually.

No PC lamps won't work, I'm looking for T5. Thanks,

Check with FAOIS, they carry the reflectors, end caps for sure but don't know about the ballast.

I bought (3) of the 3' kits about 2 months ago. 6 bulbs over my frag tank was too much and bleached most of what I have in there. I unplugged one of the ballasts a couple weeks ago. If you're interested, what do you think is a fair price? Probably about an hour drive for you though.

Thats awesome. Is the ballast only for 3ft or 39watt? Could it be used with 2ft 24watt bulbs? I do not want to overdrive. These are just for color I do not want too much more intensity.

I have no idea how T5 and their ballast work.

I have a 40 Breeder I'm worried i'll lost my lower light areas for my Leptoseris, chalice, etc with a 36 in bulb now that I think of it.

They will be suspended 15inches above water same as D120

I am interested.
