Looking for a light

[laytonp]

I am in the process of setting up my new frag tank and before I buy a light online I figured I would see if someone on here might have one they will part with. The tank is only 6" deep so I don't need a huge amount of light. I am looking for maybe a par36 or similar pendent. The main driver is that it needs to be like 20" long or less. Let me know if you have something that might work.

I live in Birmingham an I have this ecoxotic light that I don't have any use for if it will work for you. Asking 100.00. It has dimmers an blue an white lights. Made for a 36" tank. Thanks

I have seen these at one of the shops down there and they look nice. How wide is it as I only have 20" between the wall and my main tank for the fixture to fit in?

 

[Tburrus31]

It's 36"

Just to clarify 24" won't work?

 

[laytonp]

24" will work but that's the max.

Can you use MH?

Not looking to use MH as the tank is only 6" deep. I think they would be way to powerful.

OK, didn't know if you might be able to use one. I've got 175W, 250W, & 400W. Ballast, cord, socket, reflector, and bulb - $35 a set.

Thanks but I think they would be too much for a 6" deep tank. I will keep it in mind though for future projects.

man Harry that is a great deal makes me want to get a set or two just for back up. My current backup light is only a 150w and two vho super actinics.

I have a set of 12 inch current USA Truelumen LED strips (1 white and 1 blue) let me know if you are interested. I know they are a little shorter than you goal length. I haven't use them for anything, but supplemental light and live rock bucket light so I dont know how well they grow coral by themselves but they sure do grow coralline.

Not sure these will work for growing corals, but how much are you looking to get for them? Might be good over my fuge.

Now that you mention it I used them to grow caulerpa in my sump at one point and had a frag rack in there too. Softies and LPS did fine under them, but the only sps that seemed to do ok were birdnest and montis. I think new they are $60-70 each but I will let the pair go with ac/dc power adapter for $50. Let me know if you want them. Right now they are just sitting around until the next time I decide to cycle live rock.
