|  Re: Using NO bulbs in VHO set-up
Great call on the T-6s...I saw those when I was looking around for some bulbs but was not sure what they were. It looks like they fit right into the VHO receptacles (but the german watertight ones will not work without some sort of new rubber seal on the inner cap that seals off the bulb, the german ones are for 1 1/4" bulbs). The price looks good. The reflector I am using is a polished aluminum cheapie from Hellolights. The bulbs at Al's are 40 watt on the 48" ones but that will still work for me!! They have 7k to 11k pretty sweet, I did not see the 55watt ones.
The reasoning behind the VHO discontinuance is that they are not ecologically sound in that the gas in them is extremely noxious. Post a link if you feel like it. We just try to avoid links to other forums and such...we like the inside scoop though!!
BTW...welcome to 3reef Salt Creep!!
