WTB lights for reef tank

[djromo]

Hey guys I'm looking for a new light setup for my 75 gal. I am open for LEDs, halides, or T5s. Just need something that will make tank and coral pop! Please let me know if you have anything like that. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon

Order one of each of these bulbs from BRS for that T5 fixture you have.

Again, this comes down to bulbs. If its a coralife 10k bulb you are throwing money away. You could overnight those bulbs if you need them fast. And I think 65w bulbs are power compact bulbs.... Those are a dead lightbulb. You will pay $100-200 to replace the bulbs in that.

you can overnight those bulbs for $31 or 2 day for $14

I've got two 250w IceCap pendants and IceCap electronic ballasts with brand new 14K Ushio bulbs that I'd be willing to let go. PM me if you're interested.

+1 these are good ballasts. And the 14k ushios would be good until you got some 20k radiums

OK guys so I went to great white aquatics and I picked up the ATI blue plus x 2 , ATI actinic, and the coralife 10,00k daylight. Put these in and instant change in my tank!!
