cvarcher Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 I saw an ad for a 70 watt halide bulb.Seems this would be perfect for a nano reef.Is there a fixture that matches this bulb and what is the brand? Who sells it? Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 it is an hqi 70 watt double ended hallide. i forget the company the sells the ballast but there is a thread on it some where in the main forum. Link to comment

kennerd Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Hey, Corrado: long time since I've spoken to you! I bought your Lifereef overflow from you awhile back. Since sold it to another nano reefer. Never used it, and discovered that it actually got broken durnig shipping, but the fellow that bought it does acrylic work, so I didn't get hurt too badly. In fact, go to this link @ Reef Central: same feller has this 70w setup here: http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/showt...15&goto=newpost Also, just found this post two minutes ago on Reefs.org for a 70w setup with extra bulbs: http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15097 Did you ever sell your 30 gal?

cvarcher Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Hi, yes I sold the 30 gal reef peice by peice and did fine.What happened was it became another chore around the home and so I wasnt enjoying it. Since then I started a 15 gal nano reef at work on my desk and I love it.Ive been trying to post pics here but it doesnt want to take. Give me your e address and Ill send you a couple of pics.Id like to upgrade the lighting (2-32 watt PCs ) to a lttle more power and thought the 70 watt MH might be perfect.Sorry to hear about that Life reef breaking in shipment.I thought I packed it up real well.
