DesPlainesGeek Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think I'm probably going to pass I'm using this retro kit. I think I may just get a all in one with lighting included. Just not really up for tweaking things too much. If anyone wants my 70w retro it's for sale. Quote Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Metal halide bulbs are not commonly used in nano reef keeping anymore @Jayson bcc, but we may still be able to help. Ask away. Quote Link to comment

I actually had a pretty knowledgable LFS owner tell me a couple of months ago...MH bulbs dont need replacement until they burn out???? He said hes checked par rating as the bulb ages...yes the par output decreases...but not enough to be a factor to change the bulb. I have nothing to back this... Just FYI Izzue yes but the electrospectrum analysis goes down over time thus needing to replace lights Quote Link to comment
jesster_rm80 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I am currently upgrading my tank and planning to revive my mh lights with t5ho to supplement if need be. The lights are electronic ballast running 70w de bulbs. I was using a black box led and the lenses and colors shifted and it grew algae really well. But having the chance to set up a new tank I wanted to go back to what I had the best success with, the old tried and true mh lights. The ballast are cheap electronic SunPak but have always worked flawlessly and given good color firing bulbs. 1 Quote Link to comment
