Need lights for my canopy

[1slapnuts]

Looking to buy some lighting for my 72" canopy for 150G tank. Not looking for metal halides, too much energy. Just need some basic lighting for my daughters tank. Flourescent or power compact, something like that. Not too expensive, but in good shape and dependable. Ready to buy, so give me some offers. Sick of spending so much on new ones. Thanks!

Look into T5's. Lots of light and not much heat. Lower cost for replacement bulbs also.

Yea, you could do T-5's. Get 2 icecap 430 ballasts, end caps, and the bulbs and the reflectors.

I have a 6' enclosure with 4 96watt pc's. It will take me a day or so to get some pics if you're interested. It is black plastic with vents.

Will make a reasonable deal if you're looking for something in this ball park.

I picked it up with a used tank a couple years ago and never used it. The original owner kept corals under it (LPS & softies) but while I wouldn't recommend it for SPS, clams, etc. it would be fine for softs or FOWLR.
