Ho T-5 Fixtures

Hello everyone,
Well I'm going to try my hand at saltwater again.
I need a little help with finding a brand of light fixture to go with. I currently have pc's but i would like to step up to t-5's. I know most would say go with MH'S but i do not want to use mh's. So any help would be great or if anyone that upgraded to mh's that have t-5's for sell drop me a line. Thanks for ur time and help.

I have four twin tube 54W T5's. I'm going to be selling them in the next few weeks, but not right now. I had 3 of them (6 tubes) on my 90, and it did pretty well for softies, zoas, shrooms. 8 tubes would have been perfect for sps.

What size tank and how soon do you need them?

I just started looking for my light fixture this week. I'm thinking about getting my rock in about 3 weeks or so. I'm not in a hurry thou since i am still waiting for my order of 120lbs of rock for my 220 cichlid setup and it will be finish.

As for the lights for the 120 I need the whole set up.

yep, these are the whole setup. Nice black power coated fixtures each with 2 HOt5's complete with mounting legs. I'll pm you a pic. in the next day or so.

If you're talking 3 weeks, sounds like we're on the same schedule.
