trade for lights
I'm having trouble with my sps, they will probably be a complete loss, but I want to have better lights than 2xvho next round. I have a mated pair of percula clowns with a 3" female, 2"male, and a 3.5-4" blue hippo tang, and a few zoa colonies I could throw in. I only want to trade for a light, or lighting parts. I have a regular 36" 30 gallon display tank. Anyone interested? make me an offer.
I live in akron.

Many VHO ballasts are capable of running/overdriving T5's. In conjunction with SLR's, you can dramatically improve your PAR vs VHOs without breaking the bank on new equipment.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice

Hmmmm...!! I have a 220 watt aro ballast, the way its wired, It looks like it has 4 channels, driving 2 bulbs (on regular commercial ballasts, most have each bulb running off one wire), if thats so, that means 55 watts per channel, meaning I could run 4x3' 39 watt t5s. It sounds good in theory, but I dont have the money to even buy bulbs and end caps, plus the fish are getting too big for my 30 gallon, its not getting upgraded from that any time soon, and they are becoming un comfortable.
I would like to appologise for my initial specs on the fish, It was a guess at a glance, the female clown is actually about 2 3/4" and the tang is about 3 1/4", I just held a plastic ruler in the tank and got an accurate measurement.
