So, I think I want these....
http://cgi.ebay.com/T5-HO-LIGHT-REEF...item5d2b4b3bf0
for overtop the 75...can always change out the bulbs if I need to, but a 3/3 split should be cool |
You'll have to let us know how they are when/if you get them. I've been shopping on aquatraders.com for lights, but none of them are 6 bulb fixtures.
|
I think those would work just dandy and the two switch split would give ou some cool lighting options. My only thoughts would be what the reflector is like behind them; a good reflector can really boost your output.
|
For the price you can't really complain I dont think. I'm not sure if they ship to Canada, but I know they'll ship to Jersey :D ...figure 6 bulbs should be enough for LPS and softies and a few SPS near the top
|
good find..great price
|
I actually looked at those on ebay, before buying my new hamilton... They looked really cool in design. But I decided to keep the MH, and the new Hamilton Belize is a nice unit.
Let us know what you think of them, if you go with those. |
I checked this out as well, they do ship to Canada $89.00 us shipping. Would be nice if they had individual reflectors tho.
|
They will work just fine, price is good too. I have ordered from this ebayer, have had no issues at all.:biggrin:
|
Good price... and I think it would do fine on a 75g lps and softie tank. You might be able to get some low light digis or montis to grow with it too higher up in the tank, but it doesn't have individual reflectors, so you won't get the extra oomph the other brands like ATI and Tek give with their fixtures.
Just ensure you use good par rated bulbs like ATI, Giessmann and UVL and you should be on your way. Nice score. |
That exact fixture came with a 55g setup I bought about a year ago. Reflector was OK, construction was OK as well. The old saying 'You Get What You Pay For' applies here. It's an OK set up for the price and in your case, for your requirements.
I ended up replacing them after about 4 months as they were not sufficent for my SPS dominated system. My recomendation would be to keep an eye here on Canreef for a good deal on a Tek-Light fixture (or something similar). More money but definately worth it. |
