You need to have 0-10v analogue dimmable ballasts, about £55 for 2*54w and then a dimable controler which you can DIY if you are good with electronics or go for one of http://www.aquapro2000.de/en/Lighting-A ... :8650.html :thumbup:

Its worth noting that with halides most people use them for a midday burst, say no more than 90-120 mins, i have mine on for 30mins, if you could live with that might be worth looking into..?

Couple of 4' pendants with T5 / Halide combo?

I think i have a couple, will let you know tonight

true, yea they will be some quite soon,all going well, just added 60 odd rummies and waiting for 3 more tefes, then some pictures :)

I would DIY your lighitng in a tank that size. This is my setup on my 6.5' tank viewtopic.php?f=35&t=571 Arcadia leads connected to 2 x 54w twin dimmable ballasts with W reflectors and 3 x 150w halides, all balasts and control gear is in the stand where its safe.

HI, You might find my journal of interest, tank is 6.5x2x2'. Recently i added another filter to help flow, but my co2/heating and lighting is performing well viewtopic.php?f=35&t=571

Yep They also do a 'green' version which has a more green spectrum to compensate the blueness

Interesting.. I bought mine from Hong Kong at £42 delivered each, so not too bad

Metal halide luminaire / t5 with a 150w ADA green bulb 8)

Cool, yea the trunking is a good move Depending on plants, sounds to me that it will be plenty, those reflectors are really impressive James

Yea, no prob, if you need a hand with the wiring i can help out, let me know.

Hi ed I have two of those exact dimming ballasts you linked to in my discus tank (54w), you do not need a aquarium computer to control them just a dimming module. I bought mine from a guy in Greece i spoke through on APC. Il dig out his email and send it over to you...

Interesting thread I am using 2 of these http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/Light-Bulbs- ... 54W-865-GE on my new discus tank, along with 2 aquamedic 10ks & 3 x 8k MHs will let you know my thoughts next week when i get the tank wet.

one 3' and one 4' I would only use MHs if i had the T5s to go with them as i only have them on for the midday bursts for 3-4hrs, otherwise it is too much light with just MHs on these size tanks James

Strange, the link works for me? anyway i meant the ones on the bottom of this page - http://www.viclite.com/astraaq.htm I will have them all in the same setup soon so will be able to compare directly to the ADA bulb

I do on 2 tanks, i have a mix of an ADA 150w HQIs and these which are much cheaper :) James
