Default I just bought these lights today

Hello everyone. Well ive got new lights for my other 55 gallon tank. I bought them on ebay. Please check them out and let me know if I got a ok deal. I want to grow sps corals, soft corals, Clams. Just about everything.
Can I do it with these?

Heres the link

Thanks everyone. Your opinions are taken with high regard. You all know so much and I so little. Its just so much fun learning all this.....I have finally found a hobby that keeps me thinking and challenges me yet is also rewarding. Too bad it costs so darn much to get started.

You should have no problem growing the corals you listed with this. Just be sure you have alot of flow for the SPS.

&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.

Thanks Reefman


Thats what I thought. I am wondering about the ballast. He said he bought everything off ebay himself and had no brand name for the ballast. Hope its not some junk. Thats the problem with ebay...you never know till it gets here. Having second thoughts that are too late.

If you have anything in your tank, remember to acclimate them to the light. Going from FB to MH is a big jump-I would do about half a day for the first week then increase a couple hours per week. I did not do this going from a pc and I fried alot of my corals.
