bagedtaco · #1 09/26/2005, 05:04 PM

i had this over my clam tank for 6mths or so, all bulbs were new at the time. vho bulbs are uri super actinic(sp) and the mh is a catalina 10k. the set up was purchase from cool touch lighting with out bulbs for $325 + shipping. i don't even remember what the bulbs cost anymore. but i'm guessing about $60-70 for all bulbs.

this would work great on a nano a tank or one with a 24-30" foot print.

here's a pic.

i'm asking $270 for everything. or make reasonable offer + $15-20 bucks to ship it

shoot me email @: Bagedtaco98@aol.com

and here's a couple of pics of the clam tank

Is the bulb DE? Also what kind of ballast is it using?

Does that tank train out all sides? pretty cool setup...

bagedtaco · #7 09/27/2005, 07:53 PM

not sure if it's a DE bulb or not. it's just like the ushio bulb and it's using a magnetic ballast. just like the link i posted.

zurcsreef.. yes it flows around all side.

yeah man that is a nice tank never seen nothing like that how do u even put anything in it were?

bagedtaco · #11 09/28/2005, 09:15 AM

it's open top. most people think it is inclosed but it's not. i had the tank, stand,light and clams forsale a while back. the only thing i have left is the light.

if you do a search under my user name u can find the thread to the setup and build.

if intrested i can build the setup, tanks, sump and pumps with all pluming for $950.

and no it is not a DE bulb.
