H20cooled Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm selling off my T5 lighting components, I will sell them individually or as a group. Everything was only used for ONLY 5 months (except the ballast) and works perfect. I will not ship the bulbs or reflectors, but I will consider shipping the end caps/standoffs or ballast. Here's what I have: 8 pair (total of 16) of the moisture proof end-caps & standoffs. $8 each pair 8 IceCap SLR reflectors 48" no scratches or rust and almost perfect. $15 each 8 54w (48") bulbs; 2- GE 65k, 1- Giesemann Aquablue, 3- UV Super Actinics, 1- UV Aqua Sun, 1- UV Actinic White. GE bulbs $5 each, the rest $15 each. 1 IceCap 660 Ballast, heatsink, and wire harness all ready to go (will fire 4 T5's bulbs) $120 I will sell the whole package for $350. Here are some pictures of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DChemist Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm not trying to sidetrack the thread, but I'm curious why you are selling. I thought you were very happy (growth, color, etc.) with the T5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20cooled Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Well, I guess I wasn't as happy as I thought. I have been disappointed with the color on some of the corals that I have purchased and I've also really missed the shimmering that you get with MH. So, after replacing my chiller with a bigger model and then having the opportunity to trade the old chiller for a Dual 400w ballast I decided to just switch over. I think you can get great color with T5 only setup but I think it needs to be in a more shallow tank then I have (mines 26" deep). I'm very happy with MH/VHO setup that I have now...

I really missed the shimmer that you get with MH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20cooled Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Sorry, the endcaps sold already and I do not have them. Basically you need to add around 1" to the total length of the bulbs. I think they end up around 47" total with the endcaps and bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdertang05 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 what no no no not endcaps reflectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 No the endcaps sold. Not sure what you are talking about sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DChemist Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I think powdertang wants to see a photo of the reflectors taken from the end so that he can see how thick they are. He's not interested in the endcaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I don't have any photos like that. What I would suggest if you are looking for info on the size of the endcaps or reflectors, is it go to www.reefgeek.com, they have the measurements of the items there.
