hey tangster what kind of price would we be looking at for a kit to build into my canopy, say T5s plus moonlights for a 55 gallon? If you prefer you can pm or email me.

Early in the build process I bought a set of PCs (self-contained unit) which would work OK for starters, just thinking if I could sell them and come close to covering cost of the T5 parts it might be a good move.

In the process of building --
55 gallon glass, 260 W odyssea pc lighting, to be continued...

The proper actinic is as if not more importiant then the M/H's Pluse with good actinics you can run them 16 hrs aday and then use the M/H for 5 or 6 or so.. Find the string by Miller Time I talked him into getting the proper P/C actinics .. He'll tell you what its worth..he also uses about the same fixture . Just a little less on the P/C wattage he has 96 watts x2
