Retro Fits

[bennyd]

Looking for a complete retro-fit for a 120g 48x24x24, metal halides are ok, but I would rather do a T5 setup, does anyone have recommendations for either?

If I go Metal Halide, I'd like to go 20k. but only 175 watts.. And would you recommend SE or DE?

I would really like to just get a T5 setup... What do you think about this one?

And do you think I would need more than one? I am NOT planning nor do I desire to have SPS or Clams Please keep that in mind...
Kind of looking for the best bang for the buck ya know?

This is what I was thinking....

Or maybe just buying four of these over time as money can afford...

I would be scared to use one of those fixtures near saltwater with the non-waterproof endcaps. If you were to buy the good endcaps at $15 per pair you are looking at $120 more so that defeats the purpose of finding a cheap fixture. The IceCap retros come with good endcaps but cost a bit more.

I might be taking out 4 bulbs and one IC660 from my setup soon so I could possibly have 4 bulbs, reflectors, endcaps and IC660 ballast available. It all depends on how soon I test out all the MH stuff I just bought on one of my tanks.

Please let me know, I probably won't be looking for a little while yet so.. and if you want those pc parts, maybe we can work out a deal.
