Greg,
Put me down for 2 400W retro kits. Do you have the 400W DE pendants that go with the bulbs?
-Erik

[360Reef]

The 400W DE will fit in a 250W DE pendant, you will just have to move out the bulb clips because the 400W bulbs are larger. But CoralVue does make a DE pendant also.

moved to PM

[360Reef]

Brett,
The 400W electronic ballast for $145, and 400W DE bulbs for $100. As far as the pendants I think the Coral Vue ones may be alittle overpriced as compared to PFO ot ROIII ($115 CoralVue VS $90). I have done some reading on RC about 400w DE but I dont think anyone has done any benchmarking.


BTW - All Coral Vue Ballasts have a 3 yr replacement warranty and the bulbs come with a 30 day replacement warranty.

Let me know what you think.

-Greg

Greg, lemmee know what kind of deal you can get me on a 150w 10k DE retro.
Thanks

[360Reef]

Jim,
They don't carry 150W ballast, but I can definitly get you a good deal on a 150W bulb. Let me know.

-Greg

[360Reef]

On second thought, I believe the 175W electronic ballast will drive the 150W DE bulbs. I will call them and check.

I have two of the dual T-5 set ups running and they are bright! I am hoping to get some pictures soon because I have noticed all the brown digitata and a brown Capricornis is turning purple, and I'd like to capture the color changes over a month or two. I am very happy with the purchas so far!!!! I can't beleive they are changing color in only a week.

[Tim Marvin]

Here is a really bad picture, but it gives you an idea of the intensity of these T-5 reto kits. This is 4/ T-5's from 360reef.

What kind of bulbs are those in the T5 retro?

[360Reef]

The bulbs in the T5 retros are ATI brand bulbs (same bulb diff name on it) and I can get them in .03 actinic or 50/50. The 2 bulb retros include bulbs, HO ballast, endcaps, standoffs, relfectors and wiring. Let me tell you these suckers are super bright, they blow away my VHO's. Here are the prices:

24" T5 retro $100
36" T5 retro $115
48" T5 retro $125

Let me know what I can do for you. Also send me your email for a complete price list of all the COral Vue products I carry.

Greg,
Is there a complete MH/HQI pendant with built in T5 actinic available from CoralVue? I heard something about this, but haven't seen it announced on CoralVue's website. I'm looking for a quiet & complete kit, not retro.

[360Reef]

Vihn,
The have the Reef Zone fixtures (like geissemann) that are 150W or 250W DE bulbs plus 2 T5 bulbs with two built in fans. You can check the out at www.coralvue.com.

48" 150W Reef zone fixture $575
48" 250W Reef zone fixture $700

Do they carry T5 endcaps? I need 8 endcaps and 3 24" actinic bulbs and 1 10K. How much would the endcaps and bulbs be?

[360Reef]

Endcaps are $7 a pair standoffs are $5 pair. I can get you .o3 actinic bulbs and 50/50 bulbs but no 10k. The only problem with bulbs is that I need to order 12 at a time, so if you can find people to order 9 more bulbs I can order them for you. The bulbs will be $14 each. If you would like a complete price list send me your email. Let me know.

I wouldn't mind getting two or three 24" bulbs and some endcaps. Still not enough for the bulk order on bulbs yet though.
