Lighting

[smchais]

I am looking for new lighting for my tank. I currently have 2-175 mh lights and I am running my old satalite (I think) 260w system on a 110. I am looking to change the whole setup. Can anyone help either by selling me new lights or point me in the right direction????

I don't have any for sale, but what are you looking to change to? Do you want a retrofit or a fixture? MH or T5?

Im thinking of the same thing on my 110 I have two retro 175 Halides.....thinking for SPS and better growth two 250's would probably be better, with 4 t5 fot actinic and suplimental.....

I have the 175's over my 65 and had trmendous growth...why do you want to switch.....just curious.

I am not sure really why I want to switch. I think it is because I am a guy and NEED MORE POWER!!! JK. I think I just need someone to come by the house and help me with advice with what I need to do. I am addicted to this thing and I am not really sure what direction to go. I think I want to switch to T5's or just use them to supplement my MH's. I was thinking of using PCs but I keep hearing that t5s are a lot better. HELP????

PCs are garbage. T5s or MH. If you really want to know why, I'm happy to explain, or you can just trust me/us on it. If you want to know I'll explain

I'd happily stop by your house but I'm at school until March

Thanks man. I think I understand why pcs are garbage. I am just not sure which direction to go...
