Nemesis84 July 18, 2010 Share July 18, 2010 I'm in the market for a T5 retrofit kit. I see these two on Reef Geek. Any recommendations on these kits? Ice Cap 36" 4x39W SLR T5 Pre-Wired Retrofit Kit w/ Ballast & Bulbs - $439.95 or LET Lighting 36" 4x39W Miro-4 T5 Very High-Output Retrofit Kit w/ Bulbs - $359.00 Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak July 18, 2010 Share July 18, 2010 why not fork out a little extra and get a led kit, or spend less and build your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctenophore July 18, 2010 Share July 18, 2010 http://www.icecapballast.com/ I know the guy behind this site. It is equipment from an aquaculture operation that ended up not getting used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis84 July 18, 2010 Author Share July 18, 2010 Would that be too much light for my 45 gal? Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds July 19, 2010 Share July 19, 2010 8x54 on a 45 gallon is a bit of overkill. What are the dimensions of the tank? Also have you thought of a ATI sunpower fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctenophore July 19, 2010 Share July 19, 2010 Yes it's probably too much. But you could just get one ballast from there and DIY the rest. Just passing along to URL to hopefully save you some money (and help Philip move his equipment!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
