Looks like it, thanks


\Cheers

 

Any idea of knowing how much heat ? Right now I run steady at 78. What degree jump would I expect with the MH ?

I certainly am not going down the chiller route...


\Cheers

 

I just have ordered one of these, however when it arrived, they shipped the wrong one, and sent one with only one metal halide, So they have to reship monday, that kinda sux

 

Bummer for sure..

When you get the right one in and run it, can you tell me what your heat goes up to ?

What size tank is this going on ?


\Thanks

 

65 gal, i hooked up the other one to see what it would look like, i was running a 2 bulb florecent and i couldnt take it, the one metal halide looks o.k., but i still have some dark places on the sides, and i have a center brace and you can tell with a single metal halide fixture. I thought about the same fixtures you were looking at, due to price and preformance, and decided on this one. hope my reserch helps you some.

 

Good thanks.

With the dual MH and T5, it seemes to be around 480w, that would be around 10 w per gallon in my 46 at 20" deep. Too much ? I am worried about increasing heat too much but I can afford a degree or two.

I wish I could answer that for ya, but I have not used MH yet. But I am in a similar situation. I want to set up a 65 gallon tank, with a light like you are looking at. So I also would love to know how warm a 65 would get under 2x150 MH.

 

i think you will be good, if it raises the temp you can place a fan blowing over the water surface.

 

You could always hang the lights a little higher using the hanging kit instead of the legs. That would also help you with any heat issues. Just food for thought. Luna

 

I sure hope so. I really don't want the look of the fan clamped on my tank.
