It's time to clean out some clutter. I tested this setup immediately before taking it down. PAR at 4" below the water surface ranged from 500-925 under the halides. 12" down was 330-500.
I had this system over a 65 at one point as two 250's and two VHOs. It could be easily adapted to fit many common setups...40 breeder, 75, 90, 110, or 120. It also fit perfectly over a 36x36 cube.
250 watt metal halide ($80)
Icecap Eballast (can run pulse or probe start bulbs)
Radium bulbs
DIY Lumenarc mini
250 watt metal halide ($65)
Magnetic M58 ballast in housing
SPS 20K bulb (spectrum and visual is very close to Radium)
DIY Lumenarc mini
VHO setup ($75)
660 (can run 16 feet of VHO)
Endcaps included
Easily retrofitted to T5
8 used 36" actinic bulbs
Nightlight setup with auto-on (free to the first person who buys any of the above)
$150 takes it all.
