Yeah, they're oddball bulbs for sure. I only know because I have a fixture over my qt tank. I tried to sell it a couple of years ago and couldn't give it away. It works perfect for my 20 long qt tank though.

Indeed, sorry about being off topic. Good luck with the sell, it looks like an amazing setup, I wish I had space for it.

All good.... I honestly didn't think or know there was a 30" HO bulb... When I had my 20l (not liter) tank up, I thought I went through all the 30" fixtures.... Ended up with a aquatic life that used 24" bulbs but threw those out and went with ati bulbs... Lol that would stuck getting that fixture and only having one company to get bulbs from....

eitherway, free bumps for this sale....

No doubt, I bought it as part of a used package deal. I'm just glad I found a use for it somewhere.

Who moved this from his for sale thread and didn't move my comments??? This is not right at all....... ;)


Sorry couldn't help myself........

Also I can't take back the light since I bought it off a member from here a few weeks ago. I could resell it and find a T5 fixture that would fit his tank. I wanted a 92g corner but after I put a mock set up in the house where it would go, it was just too big. Now I'm looking for a RR 54g corner.

And sorry for derailing your FS thread......

LOL, I considered it, but it was somewhat on topic still. Next time a thread gets derailed I'm just going to remove the whole thread and not reply with a reason. Just kidding, I'd never do that! - Or would I? ;)
