My 120 Build

[dtpollard]

Well my light did not come. I got it on ebay. Lucky his paypal account would not work, so I did not lose my $. From the neg feedback sounds like he made off with around $4000.

Yikes! What are you going to do for lighting now?

 

[dtpollard]

I will get something figured out. I went to Atalntis Sat. and got the bulkheads I needed for my frag growout system and some of that sweet Dry Pukani Rock. I should have water in the frag system by the end of the week. Then the 120 will be back in the loop.

Was not sure. Was looking at making my own w/ 2 of the Ice Cap 250/400 DE Pendant w/ 400 watt DE 20K run off the Lumatek electronic Ballast and 4) 54 watt T-5. That will fit my budget.

I ended up with a Giesemann 250 watt DE and 2 T-5 fixture from my buddy Andy at RRC. I currently have it on my 75 and wow what a diff. My other fixture was a 250 watt DE and 4 65 watt PC and the Giesemann made that look stupid. I have the rest of the stuff I need in my Marine Depot shopping cart so until I raise some $ that's it for now.
