Cesar Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Check these out. They are pretty famous with those 10g tanks. If you only want to spend that much then I suggest these. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=ES53101 Link to comment
KidCNU Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 well i could also get a 130w 24" jebo guy for under $100 i have delt with a jebo before and had no problems, but unless i want to spend like $200 Pc's are my light of choice? Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 How long is that 10g tank? Isn't it 20in long? The 24 might look kind of weird but yeah you can go with those Jebo. Link to comment
KidCNU Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 yeah tank is actully 20 inches but the 130 has 2 inches of just plastic on either end so all of the light area would be over the tank, and do you think i might be able to get away with a monti digita in that or would that be a dream?

Cesar Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I think it will loose it's color to be honest. They demand higher light. Maybe if you place it high in the tanks rockwork. Link to comment
KidCNU Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I know this is probally a stupid question but would something like this work for my tank or not, and if so i'd prolly need a new bulb wouldn't i http://shop.store.yahoo.com/unionlighting/rabezfloodmh.html Link to comment
KidCNU Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Anyone on that or which would be better 70w MH or the 130w PC Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I know this is probally a stupid question but would something like this work for my tank or not, and if so i'd prolly need a new bulb wouldn't i http://shop.store.yahoo.com/unionlighting/rabezfloodmh.html I have never seen those before. I dont think I have heard of the brand either. What kind of corals are you planing to keep? If you plan on some SPS and stuff like that then you are better off getting your self a 70W MH pendant. With those lights you can keep SPS, Clams and other corals. Link to comment
travisurfer Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 how about a 48 watt t5 fixture...finnex has one a premium aquatics for $100 www.premiumaquatics.com you could also consider a single 75 watt vho Link to comment
jmt Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Get a 2x40w Satellite and be done with it. I'm sure you can find one in that price range. Montipora will be fine under that light (assuming everything else is up to par). Y'all must be to young to remember gil's infamous MB7. Link to comment
Snoop Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 you can buy a 96watt power quad from somone selling here for about 75$. Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Get a 70W or 150W retro kit and mod it into a regent halogen fixture. I made my setup for under $150 CAD - should be close to your budget after the exchange rate. Link to comment
Angry-Monkey Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Get a 2x40w Satellite and be done with it. I'm sure you can find one in that price range. Will a 20" light sit okay across a 24" tank if it has feet? I wanted to get one of those 2x40w satellites for a 15 gallon Im planning on setting up. Link to comment
Ishtar Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I just bought this 70W MH 20K http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/product_in...roducts_id=1280 110 bucks! Link to comment
