I'm looking to uprgade from my 2 x 250w hamilton reefstars to something more comprehensive...

I'm budgeting for 300-800$ for this new fixture.

I'll consider anything 250w HQI and better, I have a preference for VHO supplemental lighting but will look at anything...

PM me or leave info here.

Thank you kindly.

Goby.

I should have specified, High quality (individual reflectors and active air cooling) t5ho will be considered.

Thanks Ron.

Thank you.
If I ever want to grow some pot...I'll consider that light...lol

I have some sps and I don't think a power compact would cut it.
Plus, I don't think that this light would offer anywhere near enought coverage for a 4 foot tank with coral along most of the length.


Thank you though.
And nice sumpless tank too.

yeah, things look happy.
That light would be great for a softie or zoa/paly tank.

Whenever I'm not looking to buy it seems like there are so many available...
Now I have cash in hand and nobody has a light for me to buy.


Still looking.

I might just cave and go buy a 6 or 8 bulb tek fixture at JL.

I will sell you my T5's for $200!

Hey man.
I aprreciate it but again, I am hoping to find something high end.
If I go all t5, it is my understanding that fixtures that offer individual reflectors as opposed to 1 reflector for all bulbs like your unit put out significantly higher par.

I would take them in trade, as we discussed over pm to try them out and experiement with t5's but I just don't want to go with a fixture that I might not be able to keep sps with at the bottom of my 24" deep tank.
