WTB lights

Postby newb » Tue Mar 09, 2010 9:03 pm

i need to get some lights on my tank, i dont have a canopy, so i would prefer a fixture, but if you have a canopy with lights retrofit that would fit over a 48x18 tank, that would work too, just want to get something that can keep some coral alive. im looking to spend around $150

http://shop.aquatraders.com/Odyssea-48i ... /52203.htm They are real cheap. Might see alot of bad reviews about their metal halides but i have the set mentioned above and they work just fine and dont overheat. They are 3 corded so you can set the different lights on timers. They should work till you can get a decent canopy or fixture. People tell you to get better bulbs but my softies and zoa's love this light. Couldnt be happier and i didnt spend 500 dollars on a fixture.

Have you seen these?

I don't have a hood for them, but Kim might, or I could help you design one. I might even help you for the right motivation. I can sometimes even come up with free scraps of wood to make it from. You could even just hang them from something if you just need temperary life support
