LF: 18" or 20" Light for covered tank.
 
.

Looking supplemental lighting for my 20" rimless cube.

I have a 150w 14k HQI pendant & would ideally like one of these
or similar to go with it.

Open to suggestions...

Thanks,

VFX.

Hi Viv; Got a 24" oceanic pc if you want to take a look. Older model but I put a new ballast in it about 6 months ago...come on over one night and take a look. Open to offers....:biggrin:

I think I would be looking at this:

T5HO, and short enough to fit well on your sized tank. T5HO also gives you a lot better light than PC and this is half the price.

Just a suggestion though.

One note about T5 fixtures is make sure the bulbs are readily available by more than that manufacturer. T5 bulbs are sometimes custom made to the fixture maker /sellers specs. I found out the hard way. I can still buy the same fixture I have but the bulbs have been discontinued.

I had a look at the 20" PC 50/50 last night. Bulbs cost around $45 and seem particular to Coralife.

Not much cheaper than 150w MH bulbs.
