basically name says it all im looking for a lighting system for a 55 gallon preferably something i can do corals on right now i have 2 ho t5’s on their but my mom doesnt like them seeing as though its just reflectors bulbs and wires she wants me to have one that the wires are actually safe and in an actual fixture. not sure what would be good and im hopefully looking for something used for a decent price (seeing as though petkare only pays 8$ an hour) verdict_in
Cheapest solution would be to build a cheap hood to mount the lights and wires in to.
Slightly more expensive option would be to look for a decent used fixture either here or on RC.
Most expensive option would be to look at your LFS for a good but fairly priced new fixture. On a 55 you could probably go with a Nova Extreme (however the Nova Extreme Pro would be preferable).
If you need a hand with building a hood just ask. Many people here are good with wood and are always looking for someone to show off to.
have these tems for sale.
ya this light i have would NOT be your best bet for alot of hard to keep corals it is a pc 4 bulb 65 watt each better to build t 5
