Anyone have this?
 
I'm not sure if this is where to post or not, but here goes.

I've been thinking about replacing my MH with some T5's. Anyone know anything about these?

They are exactly what I want. 6 Bulb 24" fixture.

I just went the other way. 5 - T5 24"s to 175W MH. Wanted to go 250W but couldn't find one used.

Too bad, we could have traded! :biggrin: I have a 250w PFO HQI w/XM20k and a PFO reflector...

^^do you still have it avalible?

whaase 01-02-2007 02:22 AM

Yup, I'm currently using it. I just ordered a new bulb, but I'm starting to think about changing to T5's.

I have 4 T5s that I wouldn't be using if I could only find a 250W MH for a reasonable price.:wink:

Are you looking to sell it once you get the T5's?

Hold up:http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...664#post227664 But its dual...and old....but the bulbs are only like $25

YOu should ask them to see if each bulb has an individual reflector before commiting to a purchase. That's one of the strengths of HO T5's.

Ive also been considering changeing from MH to T-5's mainly because my electricity bill last month was $459 aaaaaaahhhhhhh. But not sure how well it would light a 30" deep tank.

i have an extra 400 watt light and im looking for t5s if someone want to trade

nanopodreefer 01-02-2007 10:58 AM

SLR's
 
I don't know much, but one thing I do know is that T5 Hood should have individual reflectors (SLR) to maKe the T5's worth while. It's kinda hard to tell from the pic, but by the price, I'd say it doesn't have them. :idea:

If you want HO T5s go with the Sunlight Supply Tek models. IMO one of the best HO T5 setups out there.
Finnex = mediocre lighting.

whaase 01-03-2007 01:14 AM

Thanks Muck, I'll take a look.:biggrin:

I have one system and its good but would be a 100x better if it had fans.
