Good Fixture?

No, I wish I did lol I have 2 x 150 watt MH with 2 x 54 watts T5's.
Can you point me in the right direction then, What would be a good fixture thats not that expensive? Or should I go with a Canopy with a retrofit? This is going to be for a 90 Gallon Reef, I'm going to upgrade pretty soon hopefully by like 4-5 months. I need to save up

 

Thanx for the info

 

Bump

 

Anybody with lighting experience?

 

I imagine your getting a chiller with MH's. Today's technology says to go with T5's or mix T5's and MH's with dual cords for dawn/day/dusk plus moonlights. I would keep searching and stay away from compacts. Current is overpriced because they are designed for the new uninformed aquarist IMO. This is too important to not do it right. I don't have MH's because I don't want to have a chiller (expensive, electrical costs, size and noise) but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like MH's.

 

Alright thanx, But can you take a look at my post #11 and answer some of those question for me ;D

 

That sounds like a good deal, but even on a 90 that seems like a lot of light. What are you planning on keeping? If like most of us you don't have a lot of $$ to throw around on this stuff, you could probably get away with less light, less heat, less monthly energy comsumption, less $$ to replace bulbs....that all I can think of for now....just my 2 cents but of course it's up to you.

 

I want to keep LPS mainly, I do have a couple of clams, SPS, Softies etc...
& Yes I want something not that expensive as you stated above

 

If u just want Lps I would stick with the 150s and just make sure u have good bulbs. If u want to start getting into sps and clams then I would go with a retro kit. It will be cheaper and u can customize it more easily.

 

I agree, I've had to take apart my oydessa pc unit apart a few times.. wires coming loose. their t5 unit though solid not 1 problem yet.
