Good deal on T5/Led combo

[ringo®]

Just came across this, seems like a pretty good deal

Never used one, so I can't comment on the quality. Just thought I would pass it along for anyone in the market.

It was a guy here looking for a t5 fixture for his 9ft tank. Hopefully he sees this.

The led wattage looks really low to have any sort of effect on the color of the coral IMO

 

[ringo®]

I think they're more for accent/moon lighting.

 

[mattgee87]

Ah that makes sense :-D. I was hoping for a ATI t5/LED combo for 1/16 of the price.

Is this a high output fixture?

 

[ringo®]

Yes

It does not look like they are.

I glanced through the coralvue FAQ. Rep on there stated that they were.

"CoralVue T5 Fixtures are for both standard and HO T5 lamps."

Cool, just ordered mine.

Seems odd they dont list it as such?

The whole listing leaves lots of things unanswered. I'm sure they don't care too much if it's in the bargain bin.

You are rigth, hard to believe though...$100 for a 6 or 8 bulb T5HO unit.

 

[ringo®]

I think the 8 bulbs were 150. At that price point though, it's hard to pass up....even if you're not a fan of coralvue.

This product was never used but is sold as is, no warranty and no returns.

Are they referring to just some units?

 

[franciscosalazar]

This thing must be armor-plated.

 

[ringo®]

That didn't take long. Did it come with the legs or just the hanging kit?

Thanks for the heads up.

My pleasure. Curious to see what kind of par numbers it puts out.

Need to get 2 more bulbs for it.
Then convince the wifey about suspending the fixture from the ceiling, may not be easy...
