smiz Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hey NR, I am creating some frag boxes on my Reefer 350 to hide all my frags and get ride of my racks. I was thinking of doing some supplemental T5 lighting to go with my AI hydras. Does anyone know if there are 12" fixtures and or bulbs that would work for saltwater? Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think the smallest is 24" fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think Dr.FosterandSmith still has the AquaticLife (I think is the brand) 12" T5 fixtures,idk if they have the replacement bulbs though. Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Damn,that is expensive. Dr.F&Sh has the bulbs for cheap lol. Quote Link to comment
smiz Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 yeah bulbs are only 6 bucks, fixture is $60 shipped. any idea if I can make my own fixture and use those bulbs? Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Possibly,I would search like 1000bulbs.com and see if they have ballasts small enough to power them. Quote Link to comment
smiz Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Couldnt really find anything but I'm not very versed in this area. Was able to find someone who gave me one for shipping costs but isnt sure if bulbs or ballast is broken. Now I just need to find one more! Quote Link to comment
smiz Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 So my fixture and bulbs came in last night. Sadly the little 6w bulb made very little visual difference when on. Not sure if I should even mount them at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment
