WTB 72" MH/PC/T5 fixture

[Lacy]

Last week someone had advertised a 72" 150W MH with PC actinic. I cannot find the thread so, if anyone knows if it is still available, please PM me with the appropriate contact information.

If it is no longer available, does anyone else have a 72" fixture for sale?

Thanks!! :rollface:

are you looking for a fixture or a retrofit kit?

I would prefer a fixture, but a retrofit kit would do.

I had the same issue. If your tank has a center bracket, with the config of the 72" fixture you will end up with a light over the center bracket, create a shadow in the tank.

I went with 2- 36" fixtures. Each one has 2-150w HQI's and 4-39w T-5. Worked out good and no shadow..

These 2 were about the same money as 1 72" fixture

Thanks for the info but the tank is a 180g All-Glass with two brackets. A three MH light fixture will work best, a two light fixture would cast the shadows.

I have been looking at Outer Orbit and others with that configuration. Has anyone bought the fixtures for sale on E-bay? I am watching one with 3x250 HQI, 4x39w T-5 and 8 LED - $499 + shipping.

Curious if they are good, adequate or neither.

I just looked on Ebay and saw a 72" Outer Orbit 3x150 HQI, 4x39w T-5 that's right here in Coral Springs for local pickup only.
The bidding is only up to $150 but there's still 4 days left on the auction so it could make it up close to the $650 "buy it now" price by then or not.
Might be worth keeping an eye on it to try and snipe it at the last second if the bidding stays low.

Loyalrogue,

Thanks, I've been watching that auction. Asked the seller if I could come by and see the fixture but he only said he had a reserve.

Thanks for the heads up
