misnoma Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/La ... 710243.htm I'm asking here since you salties use them so much but seems if they are it could be an option for the planted tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yip, they are halides. They would be fine for a planted tank. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostface Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have one of these exact ones. From the same guy on TM. All good, but the bulb is really yellow. 3000k or 4200k at a guess. Tended to flicker a bit at first, but seems to have come right after a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 who knows if steve bought all 5? perhaps send him a pm and ask? if not, post a q on the other guys auction and tell him you're interested in a halide if still available? no harm in asking.

suphew Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 If you know a sparky check out the building recyclers, I stopped in at my local one today and they had 150w MH bulb holders/reflectors for $5 and about 10 remote ballists, no price on them but have asked in the past and they were around $20. They might not be any cheaper by the time to buy beer for the sparky and a bulb but I think you would want to replace the bulb that came with the lights on trademe anyway.

chimera Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 it seems the difficult part is getting a good reflector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
