Coralife PowerCompact Flourescent fixture question - good for plants?
http://www.esuweb.com/cardfile.asp?I...ationshi p=36
Can this fixture be converted to 4 6700K lights? Do I need to add fans to the Actinic side of the light? Should I run a pair of 10,000 lights and a pair of 6700K lights? How do I use/convert this 4 x 65W light to something better for plants? Do I just need new lamps? My multiple calls to ESU customer service have resulted in nothing but a bigger phone bill. They have done nothing but waste my time so, I may just move on to something else. I really like the form factor of the light and the wattage though, so I would like to figure out how to make this work. The greater efficiency and lower heat generation are an advantage I would like to keep with my 4 foot long 55 gallon tank. THANKS! |

I got the UltraLife SunSpot (private label) version of this product, and it's fine and yes, the 10,000k lamps should definetly be swapped out for lower k's, anything between roughly 5300k and 6700k. Unfortunately, they will not the substitute lamps. See the bottom of the specials page at http://www.ultralifedirect.com/specials.htm for the 48" hood at $250. I've bought from them several times with good results. kush |
