JK47 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi I have a GenX PCX55 that is in excellent condition. Would like to trade it for a 48" T5 light fixture. I do no want CF/VHO etc.. I don't need anything fancy it's a freshwater tank. I would like nice looking fixture since it is going in my dining room with no canopy and a picky wife lol.. Sorry for the Google pic. My pics are too big to upload. [ATTACH]9311[/ATTACH] Good ole cash works too $100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK47 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Wish you needed a PC fixture. I have a nice one! Kind of embarrasing DOH! but I know very little about lighting. Can you email me pics and details to: justin_seals@msn.com I need to look up PC fixtures and see if it's too much light. I would love to trade thanks! Also the pump is obo so LMK if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 PC (Power Compacts) and CF (Compact Flourescents) are the same thing. If it's freshwater only I would think PC would be fine for it. If not it isn't too hard to retrofit T5's unto a PC/CF fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to convert it if the fixture looks nice. The tank is a amazonian (blackwater) 120 gallon. It has an open top and 3D background and dark brown water. I just don't want to overdo the lighting an fight algae, or use a crappy light and fight my wife lol... ps anyone who pays cash for the pump, I'll throw in a free Rio 2500 pump as well.

pnkrcklives Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I will try to take and send some pics of the actual light tonight. But here is one that is almost identical. You would however want to get some legs(shows them in pic). As I had this light hanging(and have some how lost them)... BTW the bulbs I just put in the fixture 2 months ago cost approx 100 dollars. http://www.customaquatic.com/estore/control/product/~product=LT-JLCFS55W48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
