Bpb Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Looking to upgrade the lighting on my 75 gallon planted tank. Was curious if anyone had a 48" - 2 bulb t5HO they would be willing to sell for cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkness Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 i got a 4 builb vho setup ill sell 4 cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 What size bulbs does that take. Sorry that may be a dumb question. I've been in the hobby for years but have seen the vho label go on t12 and t5. Ideally was hoping t5 since I already have two brand new 6500k bulbs that are holding my closet down lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have two 2-bulb 48" DIY setups (ballast, endcaps, reflectors). However, I would prefer selling both sets. I would think you would want at least 4 bulbs over your 75. Oops, I just saw its for a planted tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Never put together a DIY light before or is it already assembled? How much would you let one two bulb unit go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Still looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Define cheap? I have an Odyssea all-in-one 48" with (4)54w T5 and (2)250w metal halides available soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Cheap is in the neighborhood of 50. It's for a non co2 planted tank so I don't need a ton of power. If I cant find something to pick up this weekend I'll probably just order an odyssea 2 bulb fixture new. That's about what they cost online. Was just checking on here since I'll be in town this weekend in case someone had a comparable one to save me ordering online, or maybe getting higher quality stuff used.

Nwehrman Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Not to steal this thread but how much Mike? I may be interested? Looking to upgrade tank size and light is my one purchase holding me back... Not set on timeframe though so that's good... You can PM me so we don't hijack this thread anymore.
