Re: T5 Lights

better order soon though tom on reef central forum for aquactinics said there raising price on fixtures, i guess since i high demand for lights, cost increase on supplies and probally needs bigger production facility they are increasing price so if you want the good low price order now.

Re: T5 Lights

I can't find any 60 inch lights. None of the sites had them in 60's.

Re: T5 Lights

Piggy,I know of no company that makes 60'' all T5 fixtures.There are a few MH/T5 combo fixtures out there.

Is hanging a 72'' T5 fixture out of the question?

Re: T5 Lights

Would a 48" be way too short? Then I would have the problem of trying to fit it over the tank in a canopy.

Re: T5 Lights

Okay,you have a canopy,right?
Yeah go ahead and do a 48'' fixture but I'm not sure it will fit inside a canopy.

A retrofit is like a fixture without the casing.Its what people use when they have a canopy.You mount the reflectors,wiring,endcaps and ballast.Its helpful to know something about wiring/electrician work.

This is a retrofit.......Icecap 60" 6 Lamp T5 Retro Kit: Premium Aquatics

Thats a 60'' retro which would be perfect size and actually comes with the bulbs,surprisingly.Icecap retro is considered the best retros,there are others that are cheaper and will get the job done too.
