Well I already have the 2 luminarc pendants so will be using them and probably buying 2 more and selling the 2 X 250W with VHO fixture. Is there a fixture that just has VHO? I am thinking either 2 or 4 4' VHO and just hang this in between the luminarcs. If I can find someone to build me a fixture that is definately and option.

Ok, what you can do then is keep your 2x250w + VHO fixture, hang that on half the tank. Then get a bare bones fixture, put in your two pendant bulbs, and just add VHO. This way all you are buying is some VHO, and a fixture.

I must be confusing. I already have 2 X Luminarc 111 pendants
http://www.pacificgardensupply.com/products.asp?cat=2 with the connections and ballasts. I will be adding another 2 (I think), selling the 250W fixture and wondered how I would incorporate some VHO actinic lighting into this set up. |

You currently have 2 pendants of MH, AND a fixture with 2 MH + VHO, is that correct?
If that is the case, buy a bare bones fixture to put the 2 pendants into, and add VHO to it. Then you will have 2 fixtures, each with MH + VHO in them, and that will be perfect coverage for a 4x4 |

Here is a better link
http://www.pacificgardensupply.com/p...?prod=L3&cat=2 These are big reflectors - approx. 20" X 20" so I don't think that a barebones fixture box is available - besides which I would have no idea how to put the thing together. I was thinking that I could hang all 4 pendants and then somehow run a VHO fixture down the center. |

It always seems to me that Ruth does the coolest stuff.

Well why didn't I think of that. Actually we probably can if there is enough interest. I still have to order a couple of more (complete with ballast etc.) so if you want I will contact them and see if they are interested in a group order? I know that they had one going on Zeovit (that of course I missed out on).
These are supposed to be amazing reflectors and I know that the 2 I already have are pretty sweet. |

Yeah that would be fantastic!!
BTW, we should ask Psyire, he did a group order of Lumenarcs last year at some point. Maybe he could give us some ideas on the volume we have to move to get the deals.
