    That price almost seems too good to be true! lol
    I suppose taking out the t12 fittings and ballast and replacing them with t5s wouldn't be extremely difficult. I might have to look into doing this now, thanks

    Should I run my halides that long?! I was thinking turning the actinics on about 2-3 hours, then combining that with halides for maybe 5-6, then leave the actinics on for another 2-3 after. Moonlights/fuge light on when everything else is off.

    I'm by no means an expert on lighting, but I wouldn't run halides that long either. I'm sure other members will chime in and help you out with that.
