Ebay T5 Lighting - Page 2

I can't find a 72" T5 only fixture from Tek or Aquactinics. The only place I see them that size is eBay, and it looks like a poor brand with poor reflectors... What should I do? Should I buy 2 36" Tek fixtures and string them together?

Thanks! I noticed that set is 14 bulbs at 39w. That's only 546w. Do you think that's enough for my 180G aquarium? I was hoping to grow a mix, but mostly SPS. I was hoping to get 640+w (either 8 80w or 14 54w bulbs). Do any good brand companies make something like that?

Are you kidding, only 546 watts? Do your research and you will find that with individual reflectors it will put out more like 1100 watts of light. Call Tom off the website and ask the owner yourself. Don't make the mistake of only looking at watts. You will come up short everytime...you can grow anything you want with that much light!
