[J-WS6]

hey jeebus! why do you think I'm giving up my cyps/90?

for halides!

once again, great pictures ek.

[jeebus]

I can't blame you one bit!

Agreed. I can't stop looking at these pictures. They're disgustingly nice.......... :)

[J-WS6]

Right?

Halides on 1 tank > 2 Tanks with PCs''

lol

[eklikewhoa]

Thanks guys...
J, I had PC's over this tank for the longest and it was probably just as bright or brighter since the PCs were evenly shining into the tank.... but then again it was 4x96 along with 3x55.

EK, seeing your tank did make me want to finally want to upgrade my lighting. I had gone to T5s last year with a single pair using Hagen Glo. Now I'm looking at 4x54 or 6x54 on my 120s. I still can't decide the fixture though - ATI power module or sunpower. I thought about the halides, but I'm not ready to go back to the heat of it - especially over 4 tanks.

That tells you what I'm saving up for as well as selling the lufubu for...

Yeah my PC fixture is 4x96 too, but halides provide that shimer effect that PC's will never even get close to.

Hellolights.com has an exact replica of the TEK fixture for much less. Might be on backorder now though cause it was on super sale.

[J-WS6]

do you have a FTS showing the shimmer in your tank now?

[eklikewhoa]

The camera doesn't pick it up that great but let me try.....

Nice. That looks great, Quoc. How many watts those things running?

[J-WS6]

Yeah man, that's nice. Like I said, something the PC's can't provide!

[eklikewhoa]

3x150w HQI
4x96w Compact Fluorescents

Here's a noob question: Are Metal Halides the only lights that require a separate ballast box?
