I'm looking at getting back into the hobby and I'm doing a 20L but I need a light. I'm looking mainly for a 4x24w t5 light for cheap and that I can make fit a 30" tank.
I only had the bulbs running for 2 months before breaking down my frag tank. It is missing the legs though. I had it sitting over a glass canopy for a 20long which you can have as well for $15.
I kept softies anemones and zoas in the frag tank with this light no problem.
I have an old ZooMed 2x24" t5 fixture you can have... fixture is 32" long but holds 24" bulbs. It worked 2 months ago but dont have any bulbs for it now. You are more than welcome to have it for free. pm me if interested.
I will have some new bulbs $5 each dont know the color. They are coming in this week. 2 new 24" fixtures I just bought and need to color match bulbs I have so I will not use them
Mike, I may let you know if I pick up a light. I am thinking if maybe just getting the odyessa (or however it's spelled) 4x24w t5 setup for $70. The reflectors kinda suck but with that wattage I'm sure I could get away with it
But I would much prefer to help a reefer out and not a Chinese company, could anyone do a 4x24w t5 light for around $70? I will even consider metal halide, as long as it's a fixture and not a retrofit I will consider it.
