Entropy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Trying to empty out the garage a bit so I figured I would offer up some stuff from the "stuff I may need someday, but probably not" pile. EboJager 250w glass heater $5 Aquarium Systems Natural Wave Wavemaker $10 This is basically a six outlet power strip with three of them on a wavemaker. You can see the specs on Marine Depot. CoralVue 250w Metal Halide Eballast. $20 each Not pretty, but works great. Has a mogul socket, but no reflector. CoralVue 250w Metal Halide Eballast. $15 each Not pretty, but works great. Has a mogul socket, but no reflector. Does NOT have a power cord. VHO sockets prewired (two sets of two). $15 These were left over from a 4x110w VHO setup so they can stretch to four foot bulbs (probably longer) or any of the shorter bulbs. 39w T5 Actinic bulb Giesemann $1 This is a 36 inch bulb (33 inch actual I think). I used it for about six months. Batwing reflector $5 Old and weathered, but still serviceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entropy Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Heater and the MH ballast with the power cord are spoken for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjohn Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 How did the 110 VHO setup compare to the Metal Halide setup and the T5 setup? How long did the VHO bulbs last? What are you currently using? Sorry to be so inquisitive but I am trying to decide on my next lighting fixure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I only use T5's (recently) and VHO for actinic. I always use halides for the main lighting. IMO there is no substitute for halides currently. People talk about this and that, but I have yet to see the same look of metal halide from any other type of lighting. I am using a single 250w 20k halide currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
