Laura Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Now that I set up my 55g, I need a 4ft light fixture for it. I am borrowing a Coralife PC unit from rjohn for the time being...I am thinking T5's...anything out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbrougher Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have a 8 bulb current usa with two switches, and and a 2 bulb glo that you sold me:) be willing to sell either or both for a good price, as im wanting to downgrade to a soloana. also if you could help me with my search for a cheap solana, it would be appreciated.

Laura Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Jackson!! How are you? I no longer work at RCA, so the best way to find a good deal on a solana is through our club or craigslist. I'll keep my ears open too!! I think an 8 bulb on a 55g is overkill???? How much do you want for each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbrougher Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Ill give you the big one for 200, and the smaller for any reasonable offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.Fritsch Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi Mama, I'm new to ARC, but i believe we know each other from RCA. Any way I have a coralife 4ft fixture with 2x55watt pc and 1x150de MH. It also has moonlight leds and comes with an extra DE MH bulb for 150$ if your interested.

Laura Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 How old is the fixture? How old are the present bulbs? I was trying to avoid MH because they run so hot...will this be a problem for my softies? I have no SPS as of yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Fritsch Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 fixture is about 2yrs old. PC bulbs need to be replaced. 10k MH bulb 6months,20k about 2months old. i had some softies under it with no problems. I also have hardware to hang fixture from ceiling,or you can use legs on fixture. I used a clamp on fan to control heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
