jocappy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Found these. Thinking of all in one, or this for a 20Gallon Long. These good lights. ANd price seems ok right? Any info on these would be wonderful. Thanks for any info! Joe http://www.petmountain.com/product/light-f...nm-actinic.html Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The sundials are what I'd call intermediate fixtures. You probably could keep some SPS, but it would be a stretch. Link to comment

So really not worth the money right? Why spend 200 bucks on lighting when you cant do all. Other suggestions? Link to comment

This requires a little DIY, but if I can do it with no prior experience, it shouldn't be too hard: http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluore...Bulbs_by_IceCap The listed length is 24 inches, but "30 inch" fixtures actually have the same bulbs as 24 inch ones except they use a staggered arrangement. Travis: the whole point of T5s is that their shape allows reflectors to be around each bulb, and so it makes sense to get the best reflectors one can afford. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Note::: I did change out the stock bulbs to these. 2 x 24W Blue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent by ATI 1 x 24W Super Actinic T5 HO Fluorescent by UV Lighting 1 x 24W Fiji Purple T5 HO Fluorescent by Korallen Zucht Travis: the whole point of T5s is that their shape allows reflectors to be around each bulb, and so it makes sense to get the best reflectors one can afford. This fixture has individual reflectors, well sortof. It's one reflector bent a bunch of times so that each bulb has its own reflector. Link to comment

I have the Reefgeek retro that I posted on my 20 high, and I got it after hearing positive reviews from many members. Link to comment
