Simian Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Best we find you some uber lights if we are going planted then Mark, the ones you have now wont cut the mustard for that depth, I'll see what crops up, prob find you some MH but the power bill is already nasty, T5 HO FTW 8) 8).

livingart Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 rewire the meter while your at it no seriously don't do that depth to plants base is 600 yes lighting is a mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 sun roof a possibility? at that size, MH's are probably the most feasible option. HO's would provide moderate light at 2feet depth - sort of defeats the purpose, but who knows, each tank is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 formed an island of rock and gravel through the middle to raise plants up have plenty of 70 and 150w MH tubes double ended only 1 70w ballast though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 250 & 400's w mh are easier for me, 8) Im an industrial sparky. if the power bill doesnt put you off I'll start scavenging parts. my preference would be 240w of T5 HO lights by way of a fitting called a high five high bay. Uber reflector would fit in a hood nicely. Cost $200 brand new, Electricity commission subsidises them as a MH industrial light replacement. damn cheap, I want some, but other things keep cropping up. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
