Bluetom Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 What do people think of these that are for sale? http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/show_member_listings.asp?member=1001211 Haven't had much experience with metal halides so thought I would ask what other people thought.

Faran Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 You'll have to do a bit of work to mount them up, but seems like a great price for MH lights. I've never used them (like most freshies) so hopefully a saltwater tank owner will come along and give an opinion.... or someone that grows plants indoors...

Jimmy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I just bought one. You might have to change the bulb. But you will have to be quick they wont last long now that you posted it here. A new bulb is about $75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misnoma Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I've got one that's almost identical. Needs a new bulb for saltwater use (and probably freshwater depending on what's in it) but it's a damm good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simfish Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 For the price and cost I say use T5's , I heard thats what the in thing in europe now...... and they cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 HO T5s look significantly more expensive overall from the prices I've seen. Maybe over in europe where they're more common and easy to get. And you need to replace the tubes twice as often as MHs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
