Mandinga Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have a cube tank that measures 24" x 24" x 20". Currently I'm running one 15,000K 250 Watt SE Halide in a PFO reflector (pendant) I would like to add some actinics to the setup, but I'm lacking a hood...and don't really want one. Does anyone have any suggestions for adding some actinics? thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshack Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Why not try a 20K bulb? A lot easier, and you may like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'd like to run the actinics before and after the MH's are on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitricker Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 you can buy single strip T5's that will mount to just about anything. I have a couple 3ft ones, I think they were like $20 at the hydro shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 does the t5 come in 24" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Not sure if it comes in 24" but I know it comes in an 18" length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks, I found the T-5's at a LFS today. I have to find some that will mount, or sit on top of my tank. Thanks for the input everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
