Two Lumen Max 3s on a Sunlight Supply Blueline(?) 250W dual magnetic ballast which is probably no longer made. Phoenix DE 14K bulbs.

Sunlight Supply maristar combo fixture with 3x250 watt DE running 14K Pheonix and 4x39 watt T5s running 22K KZ Superblues.

Here it is burning a nice hole in my wall..



^that was a full room shot of the tank from back in August 2009. It's been 5 years and I am still running the exact same fixture with the exact same bulb combo (new bulbs of course). I did repaint the light fixture to silver to change things up.

2014 FTS.

Wow just under 900 watts of lighting, the tank looks awesome.
Your lighting pretty much takes up 1 whole circuit.

4 X 250 watt Lumenmax3 pendants driven by Blue Wave ballasts with Pheonix 14 K - (too bad the bulbs have been discontinued)
1 x Radion LED fixture (replaced a Hamilton pendant last Dec on the RH front corner)
12 X T5 54 Watt across the back.


Fairly recent FTS

I am running 2x 250W with brand new Pheonix 14k bulbs. Ballasts are brand new Lumanex 250/400W eballasts running at 250w SL (Super Lumens). I also stripped out the 2x 5ft T5's and replaced with 2x 4ft super blue LED's
