Lightbulb Arcadia T5 bar on eBay

Just been browsing eBay and stumbled across the auction below;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=4386015436

What are people's opinions on this, can I put any wattage T5 lights in. It looks pretty good because it can independantly controll the blue and white lights. Also whats the maximum you'd pay for such item.

All opinions greatly appreciated.

It looks good to me. A great light, after a year or so you probably will want to move into a MH light, but I ran a comprable light on my 55 for the last year with great results, my light was by coralife.

Looks good almost 3watts a gallon(yours is 55-56 gallons)I looked at another ebay ad and it had the wattage for the light.You would defently be able two keeps softies(zoos,mushroom ect.)maybe some lps coral as well(hamers,fogspawns ect)Usually the fixture it self controls the wattage and the bulbs have to be a match.good luck on the bidding.as for a price. I have dual 65watt with lunar lights on 29 gallon 4.5 watts per gallon.I got this $85 dollars delivered but the vendor is here in states.pricing and avalibility seems differant in the UK

Cool & Thanks - I have this on my watch list, I've also asked the seller a question regarding the wattage.
