This is a T5 Lighting Fixture with additional 6 bulbs, 3 actinic and 3 12000k. Total of 12 bulbs. Bought this and realized it was too small for my tank.

Price 200 Firm

If interested please PM me or call me at 778 883 0630 thanks

That sounds like the fixture that seller hobbylighting sells on fleeBay for about $150+tax+free s/h(with bulbs) last time I checked. Pretty sure it is as the features are copied directly from his items word-for-word. In that case it's manufactured by Artemis. Allegedly it's the same chinese company that also makes Odyssea fixtures but without the built-in fan (hence a bit cheaper). And Odyssea fixtures have mixed reviews.

My #1 concern is lack of fan for cooling. 6xT5HO must put out tons of heat. How hot does the fixture feel after being on for 5+ hours? Does it smell? Any signs of things melting?

Having said that, I have been eyeing the quad T5HO fixture from that same seller. I might be interested in your 6xT5HO, but not for $200. Mostly because I can buy same fixture brand new for cheaper on fleeBay.

If you're interested, PM me and we can discuss the price further. I live in a different province tho but would be willing to cover reasonable s/h.

Let me know.
