 Topic: 2x250 DE HQI - supplementation?
Posted: July 01 2005 at 8:32pm |
Ok, so I got my 2x250 DE HQI/10k installed and running. I then went to install my 4x110 VHO bulbs and realized they will not fit this canopy even though its a standard 4foot 120 tank. The canopy is kind of weird.
Anywho --- what should I do for actinic now that my VHO will not fit. Would I be fine staying with the MH or should I get something else?

1 Single 96 watt PC should be sufficient... 2 if you want (not much more
expense)
They are 32" Or so, and Put of great light.
VHO is best, but PCs aren't bad...

Another way to go would be the TEK T-5 retro's for supplimentation. A lot less heat is put out by them vs VHO.

I'd get a new canopy. Or modify it. Having the vho is a great way to go.
Or just sell me your vho set up and get some t-5's.

I will be selling my VHOs in the coming days.
I will try to sell the entire 55 setup and then part out if necessary.
