What do you think about this fixture????

Ok, cool! I have never tried t5's before so this would be a first. I was always a metal halide type of person! haha LOL!

 

here ya go-

6 Bulb 36" T5 T-5 HO Aquarium Lighting System 234 watt - eBay (item 300433521339 end time Apr-27-11 16:48:15 PDT)

or this- nice fixture IMHO esp.for the money.

48 inch Aquarium light 216W T5 High output LCD timer - eBay (item 170605131816 end time Mar-25-11 19:10:36 PDT)

 

you could buy two of the 48 inchers- they have built in timmers and you would have a lot of very nice lighting for less then you could build it- with timers no less!

or go the 6 bulb 36 inch route with three cords (I built a canopy fixture similar to this but a little better reflector and ballast set up in my case).

 

One is only 36" and 234 watts and the other is sold. Should of made it more clear! sorry! Thanks anyway! Looks like great systems!

 

no, both have 9 or more for sale I just checked both links.

 

im a halide junky, but just went with t5s since ive heard such great things about the color combos...i went with the ati powermodule..pricey, but the best you can buy, i have a 40 breeder with a 6x39..

 

bump! Any other comments?

 

assuming you don't have a 150 gallon tank, that thing is gonna cook it.
