Postie turned up at the door at 8am this morning with my eBay purchase - an 80cm 4x 24w T5 Arcadia luminaire! Whilst at the Festival of Fishkeeping I got carried away in the B&B room after getting an internet connection sorted out. I was very please to score it for £50! Had to pay £15 postage, but it was still cheap really.
Anyhow, looks in reasonable condition. It had two "2 week old" marine 10,000K tubes and two 6 month old actinics. I already had replacement tubes waiting I have two Philips 865 65000K daylight and two 865 65000k Sylvania tubes in it. They look to be really bright, but I didn't have time to check it out too much.
Just need to give it a clean up and get it mounted on my 80cm tank now
