Where can I buy a metal halide light fixture, or aquarium lid with a metal halide light fixture?
I know of many web sites that sell metal halide bulbs, but i havent been able to find a light fixture for metal halide bulbs. Do i need a speacial fixture or do i just put the bulbs in a regular light fixture. If i do need a fixture than what stores and online sites can i find one for a 55 gallon saltwater tank. I need the metal halide light for the coral and anemones that I would like to put in the tank along with saltwater fish. What will the light provide for the corals? Will it effect the fish?
were you planning on heeping hard corals like acropora and montipora (etc) or things more like frogspawn and mushrooms?
only the most light hungry corals need halide lighting, and evena T5 would serve purpose if you got one with a 4 bulb fisxture and individual refletors, you might even be able to get away with some SPS (the acropora, montipora, etc type corals) if they were placed very high up in the tank...
places like ebay and craiglist are ok for finding a deal, but i wouldn't really expect to find anything too great of quality there..
my local fish store sells coralife halide units, my 24''er was about $400 and they had a 4 footer (for a 55) for i think about 700.
it had 2- 150 or 250 watt bulbs (cost difference for the bulbs only) and 4 36 watt PC actinic bulbs.. a great deal of lighting and it wasn't THAT expensive.. im seen less for more..
but i woulds really look into finding a 4 bulb T5 with individual reflector... T% generally have less problems associated with them and are cheaper
if you buy a retrofit you have to build the housing for it yourself... it's cheaper but more work..
