Dixon1990 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I currently have a 300L tank setup, Its 100 x 50 x 60 tall (cm) I have 4 x 36W 4foot t8 bulbs over it. But the bulbs hang over the edge and its quite unsightly, so im wondering if theres any other types of lighting i can use in 3foot size that will be just as bright and not too expensive? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 4 X 3 footers would be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Is there any cheaper alternative t5 to full t5 setups that cost like $200 each? Like buying the t5 ballasts, end caps etc and making puting it together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 the hagen glo t5 ballast is about $100 then you will need reflectors for each tube which is like $30 a reflector?, this would be ok if you have a hood that covers it all otherwise its pretty ugly we got our 3ft Glo T5 from john, good pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
