Dave, I've got a used 36" inch fixture, 1 250W HQI with the actinics and moonlighting. If you need one cheap let me know.

what fixture is it?

im deciding whether to go with 2 150W for better coverage, or just 1 250.

thanks for the offer man.

havent seen you in JL lately, you still working there?

If you go with a single MH bulb, be sure to go with a mogul for better coverage. I decided to sell my 65g because of the waste. If you're going to buy 2 lights you may as well have a 48" tank. I didn't want to upgrade ALL my equipment, so I decided to go with a cube instead with a single bulb.

Everything I listed you can get at J&L. Talk to Mike, Jack, or Jeff about lighting there...they will all keep you well taken care of.

Its an odyssea fixture. but i would honestly recommend you go with the dual 150W. Youre going to notice 6" on each side that will get minimal light. The 150W's will give you better coverage and more than enough light.
