So could I get a 2 foot and a 3 foot? Or did you have to cut your own down?

I will most likely sitck with my box and just mount it in the canopie. I should be done today or tomorrow with the whole stand and canopie enclosures.

Lee

you can get a 4 foot and cut it down to 3 foor and another 4 foot and cut it down to two 2 foots :)

ya I had to cut them down.. I have a couple chunks in my closit now :?

Steve

To rich for my blood right now. Maybe when I go nuts later and put 2x400 and 2x175 and 2x110 VHO on my system. But I will really need a chiller before all that.

Do you have a 12" piece left over that I could maybe get off you for my refugium?

Lee

what kinda light you puttimg in there?

Steve

I have another 175 ballast just sitting arround. Figured I would use the old bulbs, when I rotate them out of the main box. But my PC (55x2) are doing great. I f I put the 175 in I could use it as a frag grow out area. Always thinking of how else "improove"

Lee

Well, I got my Ballast yesterday, and got a box for them this morning so now they are assembled and tested.

I am Verry impressed.. they are more blue than white and very very bright, the mail man did a double take when he was dropping of the mail :wink: I ran them for 20 min and the ballast were still cold to the touch. the start up was nice.. no flicker or anything.. just like turnning on a normal light in your house.. I will do a PAR test on them later after I get them installed on the tank but I am expecting a numb er that is quite high.. I can look at my 175 watt bulb with out to much squinting.. thease I can't it starts to hurt after 2 seconds :shock:

oh if the lights in the pic look a little different it is because the one on the right was on for 10 min and the one on the left only 3 min when this picture was taken..

I wonder what those ballasts would do for Rachel's 250w radium? If she still has it!

Good question, Rachel, do you still have it? if so could I borrow it for a day in the next couple weeks to try it? (after I get this on the tank of course)

Steve

Indeed very nice Steve! 8)

Were you thinking of running Radiums as well over this tank? Or was that just for something else. I thought you were looking for Son Agros too (or am I just confused again ... :? ;) )

i was thinking if they wern't blue enuf a radium in the middle might be cool :wink:
