metal halide

Selling a brand new 36" Reef Brite 250w DE Metal Halide Pendant fixture. This was originally purchased to go over a 75g tank, but I decided on going a different route. I have two brand new Hamilton 14k bulbs that are included with the fixture. I do not have ballasts, this listing is for the...

I’m planning on a build that will be 60x30x15 I want to hang my light pretty high above the tank so when your viewing the tank it doesn’t intrude the view being that it will be a shallow tank I was thinking of going with halides if I can find them and the kelvin I want to be at is between 8k...

The lighting debate is far from over. LEDs seem to be the dominant lighting type at the moment, but there are still options out there. This poll is to determine just how popular each lighting type or types are at the moment. Please answer this poll based on your PRIMARY coral tank.

Hello, I have a 5 foot long T5 hybrid fixture with 4 T5 bulbs, two xr30 and 2 kessil a360 (the guy threw them in with fixture purchase) I was wondering if they make MH pendants that would fit in similar space that a360s would? Huge fan of mh shimmer and they’d only run 2-3 hours a day… any...

Hey all! I am currently in the middle of piecing together an upgrade and figured I'd document the process and share my experiences along the way! A Little Background: My current system is an Innovative Marine Fusion 40 AIO tank. I've had it running for a bit over 2 years, and as well as it's...

Hi Guys, Here in Australia we can't get as much, and specialist lighting is hard to come by, which apparently is Metal Halide? :rolleyes: Giesemann are really the only quality option, some unbranded probably chinese globes are also available, but I'd imagine quality control isn't as strict...

As the title says, I am looking for a 250w metal halide ballast in good working condition. My fixture has the standard 3-pin US plug, so if your ballast has the same it will be a plus :D Thank you all!

December 2020 One Year Two Years Old Three years old Since 2015, I've been keeping a 60 cube tank. I used dry rock and the system took some time to mature and eventually evolved into an acropora dominant mixed reef. I enjoy seeing larger colonies, but space was getting tight and with...

300$ preferably local. comes with a 250w reefbrite 250w ballast, 250w Phoenix*, 2 blue+, 1 coral plus,1 actinic bulb.

So a recent Poll/question of the day talked about MH vs LED - Don't want to debate the plusses or minus of coral growth, etc - this poll is about 'light settings' and therefor how much energy is being used. Halides/T5's go off and on - and are running (from my understanding) at full power...
