[hr]
my wife said i can get it this weekend for :cheer: :jumping: christmas

 

[reefiness]

can you post the tank dimensions. i dont remember them off the top of my head.
i would think 3x 250 14k bulbs. but i need to see the dimensions.

 

[jamesthero]

72x24x24

Three 250W 14,000K or 20,000K bulbs would work. If you tank does not have a hood, you can go with simple pendants (available on the auction site). With a hood, you can go with a retrofit.
Good luck!

the pendants they have is that all i need plug in and go or is there more to it? they are $200 each for the 250watt anyone know of a better deal?

there have a retro kit with 2-250 watt MH with 10 or 20 k bulbs for 229.00 friend just got one said it works great.

there are better deals out there, I just got 2 400watt 20k 48 " reflector for right at 300 buccks, and that was not from the auction site!
you can email me Cymarik@aol.com I will be glad to tell you where i got it!
