Giesemann light question

[riche]

I have a chance to get a 48" Giesemann 4 bulb t-5 dual mh fixture with ballast and it works for $150

Would that be a good deal and would it be ok over a 90 gallon tank about 8 inches above the water inside a canopy

Looks like a good deal to me. Would figure in the cost of replacing all of the bulbs also.

Seems to good to be true with the cost of that fixture new. I'd jump on it if your sure it works and yes it will work on the 90 gallon just fine.

 

[tdileo]

I would ask to see the fixture working before you buy it. That’s a fantastic deal, almost too good to be true lol

 

[billwill]

Even if the ballasts needed replacing, that’s low cost. You’re going to have some serious heat inside a canopy 8” off the water though.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

I'd go slightly higher than that becuse of heat.

And yea. Jump on that. It would be fantastic.

Where's it at if u pass lmk.

 

[Mark Gray]

but it Giesmann are very repairable

 

[Reef dog]

I would never cover up a Giesemann....I have one

 

[WilRams]

Even if it didn’t work it’s a deal. Easy to fix. I would def jump on that deal. I payed more then that on ballast alone for mine..l

So I have one with internal ballast and one side intetmitting goes out. G iesmmsn told me not worth repairing is this something that's ez fix. I was told by lfs to rewrire external ballast
