WTB - Lighting for 48" long tank

Whatigot · #1 02-21-2008, 05:57 PM

I'll consider anything really.
I want to spend no more than 500$.
I'm definitely hoping someone has a couple of MH pendants in the 150-250 watt range or maybe a vho or cf MH combo kicking around.
Tank is a 72 gallon bowfront that is 23" deep, but I have a 4" mixed substrate sandbed so I need something with decent penetration at 19"....

pm me or post, thank you kindly

not sure on asking price its literally a month old, but if you have a price in mind i can always think bout it, if not i got it for 300 brand new or so it comes with flourescent lampts 2-65 watt actinic and 2-65 10,000k cmpact flourescent lamps

i see a lot of the cf's show up for pretty good prices, I think a couple just sold on this site for 150-200 bucks.
I think it's the kind of light a lot of people start with and then upgrade, so it comes up used often.
I would be interested, but I need to concentrate on finding the main lights, something that will accomodate my 20" deep tank.
I'm thinking 2x 150-250w halides will be ideal.
