jason7504 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 thanks finch cant wait to see your solana all set up when you get one i wont the light on ebay but am still deciding if i wanna get the 250w sunpod or a outer orbit pro that i found used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 from what I have read and seen pics and vid of the sunpod is plenty. The outer orbit will have a little more heat possibly. T5's do get hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 i decided on getting the outer orbit because it was a good price.less than the sunpod it has a ushio 10k bulb with 4 24w ATI blue plus bulbs..but im gonna switch out some of the bulbs yeah but the 250w MH will get pretty hot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 did you find it at that price new???? Sounds like I missed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 no i wish lol its used but its in great condition its only like 265 shipped with all bulbs you will still be happy with the 250w though..mine comes out to 255w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 so its a 150w halide? nevermind I wouldn't want it. Looking forward to seeing some pics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 yeah its a 150w MH but with the t5's it comes out to 255w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 That might be good for the heat then since you are making up watts with the T5's and they will be cooler than the halide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 im just not sure if i wanna go with a 14k phoenix bulb and the t5 blues, might be too blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Its all a matter of opinion. I personally like the look of 20k radiums and blue t5's. More blue the better if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 wow 20k with blue t5s? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 well i have my outer orbit set up but im just running the phoenix MH for now until i can get some window screen to acclimate my corals to the additional 100w of T5s...it does suck that its 2" longer than my tank on each side. so i might end up hanging it so the size difference isn't so noticeable but i can't yet so i will have to live with it lol i will probably post some pics in the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 wow 20k with blue t5s? lol I run dual 250DE MH with 4-65 watt actinics in a 75 gallon-Tank is great color-could not go back to a 14K bulb if I was given a free life time supply of them-IMO. Im hopeful the "blue T5s" meant actinics-the only way to fly(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 well im running a phoneix 14k MH and 3 ATI blue plus and some day type bulb for t5s, the blue pluses are better than pure actinics because they give great color and lots of PAR eventually im gonna swap out one blue plus and get a ATI aquablue 12k bulb and swap out the day type bulb thats in there now for a fiji purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 here is a new pic..im gonna take more updated pics this weekend but here is my sun coral that ive been trying to get a pic of because its only coming out at night now..ive had it for over a week but haven't had time to train it to come out in the day.. so i used a flashlight with my camera for this shot lol it has around 5 big heads and 3 little ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Jason, Do you have a good tripod? If not I can let you borrow the Bogen/Manfrotto tripod I have for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 no i dont have a tripod..does it fit any camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 no i dont have a tripod..does it fit any camera? As long as it has a standard tripod mount underneath it then it should work. (Look for a hole underneath that about a 5/16" stud would screw in) Most cameras (both still and video) have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason7504 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 yeah its got a hole so im sure it would fit..what kind of camera do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
