Kat if your room temp is that high you are going to forever have a stuggle with High temps on your tank with the lights on. And like already posted if you want to only go with one bulb go with the daylight. It has the transformer for the fans wired into it. So you will be running your fans. On...

Hi thanks for the compliments. I just got me a Duncan too. Well MY lights came in today and I measured them up and hey should fit just fine. The18 in fixure is really only about 17 in long and the bulbs by themselves are like 15.75 in long. The only thing is that they are 18watt ho t5's each and...

Ok all, I started asking some questions on another thread and well I descided to keep my hood on my tank. So how do I get more light? I have gotten 4 HO t5's to retro fit my biocube 29 hood with. I havent got the individual reflectors yet, later next week. The lights are I ordered were the new...

The only things I see are that if your checks fail and the power goes out you most likely will havea little flood. And I am not sure what you are doing on the return end but you will most likely get a lot of turbulance. Depending on the amount of flow. It may not be too bad being you went with a...

anyone have an idea on if the 4 20 watts with reflectors will be better than 6 without reflectors?

Ok well I ordered 2 sets of HO t5's to upgrade my hood to start with . I think that I will use 80 wats of HO t5's and I orderd Tek II T5 reflectors. So I will try to fit 4 HO T5's with individual reflectors. 80 watts total. You think that this will be a improvement ? From what I read It will...

I just wanted to keep a stock hood. Iknow adding a halide in there creates alot of heat. I was hoping to get more light output with less heat. So when I saw the new smaller HO t5's I thought hmmm I wonder how much better they are than the pc's. And I am still not sure what to do about...

yea thats what I did to add the extra 36 watt pc. I bought the 36 watt kit not the 3.24 upgrade. Same thing without the different fans and such. I have done a couple of these now and found its cheaper this way. I installed the new ballast under the hood and still use the stck. No real mods at...

well I have a new 20in sunpod 150w metal halide sitting here still in the box. I was just wanting to keep the top on. So I would be retroing my hood on my 29. I bought one of these HO t5s to see if and how I will get them to fit in my BC 29. The bulbs are only 15.75 in long. So with the encaps I...
