John, I agree with Shane on the 175w Mh That really would be ideal. ]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2005 17:13:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55203&title=anenome-lighting#55203 <![CDATA[anenome lighting : Hello everyone, FWIW, I&#039;ve...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55193&title=anenome-lighting#55193 Author: Simple

Hello everyone,

FWIW, I've seen used MH ballast, socket and reflector combos on ebay for fifty bucks.

Hope that helps,

Chris

Shane,

Thanks, being a 30 gallon and it's position (upstairs on the north wall of a south facing room) it gets quite hot.  We are thing of awnings which should help but the less heat I generate upstairs the better, though if they are considerably cheaper I just may have to try it out.  I posted in b/s/t for mh setup so we will see.

Thanks again,

john

The electronic ballasts are a bit more pricey. They will run cooler and reportedly more efficiently. However, you should be able to find a moderately priced tar ballast from someone on this board (faviasteve), e-bay, or one of our LFS.


You could compare prices at:
http://www.hellolights.com
http://www.marinedepot.com/homepage.asp

I've bought from both of these places and I've been very pleased with their service and price.

Good luck.]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2005 09:46:02 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55151&title=anenome-lighting#55151 <![CDATA[anenome lighting : Shane, Right, I have decided...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55148&title=anenome-lighting#55148 Author: jpiotrowski

Shane,

Right, I have decided to go with a 175w with 14Kbulb.  I am STEWPID when it comes to lighting.  When you say not particular about ballast what do you mean?  And where else should I look?

John

A 175w MH would be just the ticket for that tank and that anemone.

Look around, you can find them pretty cheap anymore. Especially if you're not particular about an eletronic ballast.

Good luck.]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2005 21:59:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55108&title=anenome-lighting#55108 <![CDATA[anenome lighting : Bruce, When you say a little...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55042&title=anenome-lighting#55042 Author: jpiotrowski

Bruce,

When you say a little more lighting are you suggesting  a second set of 55w, (or even lower (36w), or are you suggesting up to mh?

I have my BTa's in a ten gallon tank with 1 55w pc light. They do well but IMO they could use more. If I were you I would add a little more lighting if you could]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2005 12:17:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55029&title=anenome-lighting#55029 <![CDATA[anenome lighting : Yes that&#039;s one bulb. ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5488&PID=55018&title=anenome-lighting#55018 Author: Ghetto Man

Is each double light considered one bulb?  If so I only have one 55w blue/white pc!  That would make a huge difference in what I decide to do.

THANKS!

John
