evilc66 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Fish Need it is about as cheap as you can get for decent lighting. You can get a 70W MH for $110, and a 24" 4x24W T5 unit for $90. Link to comment
baseballman25 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I personally have no experience with metal halides yet.But fishneedit.com has a 70watt pendant that is a 109$.Looks like a pretty good light. Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 i just went to there website and looked at the 70w. whats the difference between 6700k,10,000k, and 20,000k. if i bought it which one should i get? Link to comment
baseballman25 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The lower the k the more yellow,and better growth,the higher k is more blue, like 20k= better color.I would get a 14k. Link to comment

Catfishboy747 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 From what I've gathered, if it wasn't, it wouldn't be mentioned. Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 would that fit on my tank which is 16.5 inches? Link to comment
evilc66 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's only 12" long, and the mount clamps to the back of the tank. Link to comment

GrandpaFeathers Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 If you change your mind I'll sell you a 70 watt metal halide pennant with a ballast and new 14k bulb for $100 shipped. Link to comment
