36 inch PC lights $80

Just gettin back into the hobby after nearly ten years. Traveled a bit over the weekend and bought 2 36 inch 192 watt PC lights for 80 bucks a piece. Brand new and never been used from a LFS. 10 k day light and a blue act in each unit. Did I get a good buy or what? Thanks in advance.

 

What size tank are you planning on putting them over? What brand are they?

 

By Coralife. And I am placing them over a 125. Not many corals if any. Mainly shooting for a FOWLR for now.

 

fowlr fine imo. not enough for mainly photosynthetic corals unless they are centered and high in the tank assuming your tank is 24" deep since you said a 125. also, its difficult to transition from a fowlr to a reef tank mainly because of the nitrates. I tore my fowlr down because i was using a wet dry and maintained a 15-20 ppm nitrate reading.

 

That sounds like good value to me Ryland

congrats on the purchase

Ditto! They will support lower light easy coral just fine(zoas,mushrooms,etc)but high light demanding coral would be tough to keep under pc lighting.But overall a good buy!
