T-5

[Sisterlimonpot]

Checking the area to see if there are any T-5 lighting set ups for sale. I'm looking for 4' set up for a 72 gallon

We have a 8 bulb x 54 watt unit with fans and moonlights. Works great just not big enough to cover our rubbermaid. Asking $325

PM coming your way

I have a 48" X 4 54w retro T5 setup. PM me if you're still looking for lighting.

4 lamp retro or a 6 lamp Nova Extreme Pro is probably your only choices over that tank, aren't the ends only about 10" front to back?

Another option would be to use 36" lamps. You would still get quite a bit of light out to the ends of the tank, enough for softies or whatever.

Check out the Ice Cap retro Sofly is selling

Grim, actually it's 12". I want to be able to house all my SPS LPS corals from the 125 in the 72 while I move and set the tank up in california. So I need enough light (without breaking the bank) to keep the corals thriving for 2-3 months. T5's seemed like the cheapest route.

 

[The Grim Reefer]

Not many options. I have a 6 lamp unit that would fit over it but it ain't cheap. That 36" IC retro would work if you could concentrate the SPS in the center below the lamps. LPS would be good out in the bow and the ends. 4x48 retro would be better if you can find one.

Where you movin in Cali?

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

Ventura, I not sure I want to go back to socal but I guess I have to.

 

[The Grim Reefer]

If you got to go Venturda ain't bad.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

:lol: you're from around there aren't ya?

 

[Zooid]

I don't think I'd ever want to go back to California. Twenty three years of living in that hell hole is enough. Can't go up to Northern California huh? Air Force making you move to Ventura?

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

Yep ventura. I lived in Long Beach for 18 years and really have zero desire to go back. but it's only for 5 years and we are coming back here.

We have been looking at homes out there and they are soooo overpriced. the house that I have now would be worth 500K in California.

 

[The Grim Reefer]

Yeah, I own (part owner) a shack in OC that would sell for more than what I have here.

 

[Zooid]

That's true about most areas in California.

We owned a house in the Sacramento area. When we moved out here to Colorado, I paid $20K more for my house here for less of a house. Out in California we had about the same amount of square feet but we had an inground pool with a waterfall. That's the only thing I miss about California hehe.

You could definitely do a lot worse. You couldn't pay me to move back to OC or LAC.

I almost feel the same way but have no choice...
