wow very nice touch with the vho mod, curious you have a uv glass over the lamps right? and how thick is the glass

 

[Kedd]

Yes it has uv glass, it's about 3/16" or so.

 

[jhale]

looks good Kedd.
were those T5 end caps in there before the mod?

 

[Sean]

are the vho lights shinning in your face?

Looks great but would some kind of reflector in the front might help with the light shining in your eyes.

can we see some tank shots? Your tank has always been awesome.

Nice job Kedd! Didn't like the way I did it huh? LOL

Congrats!

 

[Kedd]

Sean the tank has a front cover to match the stand, it blocks the light.


Domboski, how did you do it?

Jonathan, I had one 4' T-5 and one 4' Vho, but I wanted the entire length of the tank to get the actinic.
Plus the T-5 couldn't even come close in color and output dept.

[Sean]

great Job

Now how about some tank shots or do I have to do 2am tequila shots at my shop with you again. LOL

 

[Kedd]

I'll dust off the camera and post tomorrow if I can.

As far as the shots, my head still hurts.:lol:

Kedd, get Jason drunk and switch lighting systems with him

Good upgrade!



OT:
You have to come fishing one day in may this season. LMK when you're free

 

[Kedd]

I would need my own powerplant.

CL&P already takes way too much from me.

 

[Bob 1000]

Nice mod.... I'd like to incorporate some vho's into my 2x 400watt lighting... But I thought they would kill the vho's with heat...

 

[Kedd]

I see VHO's along side 400's in a lot of fixtures, I guess it would all depend on ventilation and distance between them.
I'm sure someone here knows how much heat they can withstand.
