Wtb: T5

[drgabe]

I am looking for a T5 ballast or an IceCap 660. I figure I'd look here first before heading to the online shops.

I have a 2X54 ballast w/encaps and standoffs and 2 aquablue plus bulbs w/maybe 2 weeks on them. 75.

You've got PM... thanks Roy.

That looks pretty cool. I hope it works out!

 

[drgabe]

Yeah, that does look pretty spiffy. Please let us know how it works out.

it has individual flat reflectors, not W shaped ones, it will work fine for softies but may not do well with light loving animals. Flat reflectors do not reflect all of the light downward to the tank. I hate to be a downer but it isn't any brighter than a pair of 55 watt pc's. :-(

It is still cheaper to buy reflectors and change out. The reflectors we ordered were more U shapped than W. I believe they are not flat.

I need to take a picture of this thing.. It look great.. the 5 x 24watts (5 because the 6th bulb was damaged do to shipping) blows the single 250 MH away. I cannot believe how bright his tank is.. Will try and get pictures up this weekend.
