According to URI's website:
Very High Output:
Super Actinic R - FR15T12/03/VHO 15/03/V 30W 18"
Actinic White 12K- FR15T12/ATW/VHO 15/ATW/V 30W 18"
Aquasun 10K - AQUASUN 1/VHO 1/AQ/V 30W 18"
I was inititially looking for a simple NO 18 inch replacement for a strip light I plan to use as supplemental/dawn-dusk on a 20 inch long tank. After seeing these, I wonder what it would take to move on up to VHO with the 30w lamps. I don't think I can use my existing strip light...but what would it take to rig a VHO system.
I was planning on using an existing 96w PC quad (8.5" wide) and a strip light (4' wide") over my 30g cube that has about 14" of usable width. Down the road, I might go halide...but now that I know VHO would fit...??
Anyone with experience...or general thoughts?? Also, how does the 180 degree internal reflector work here?
thanks
