[SaltWaterN00b]

Im looking to buy a 48" PC light for around $100, unfortunetely thats all i can afford due to buying a skimmer too, lol. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

Its going on a 55g Tank

Thank you

This is a great deal and it actually allows you more flexibility you can make a canopy or buy one cheap somewhere and mount these lights then if you ever decide to upgrade to MH or T-5 lighting you could incorporate them into the lighting scheme with these.

That I think will work! I have a bracket the goes across the middle of the tank anyway. $50 each or $50 for both?

Its $50 total ,,,
youll get 2x24inch i think 55w or 65w each with a dual ballast also its made from custom sea life if i remember
and the wiring ofcourse

As long as its better then the lighting i have now! The standard flourecent lighting that came with the tank! lol

Now quick question, These lights sufficient enough for corlas and stuff? because on my rock it looks like theres alot of life growing, red mushrooms and these small green round plants like polyps (If thats the right terminology).

For $140, I'll sell you my 48" Custom Sea Life 4 x 65W PC Moonlite fixture.
It has docking legs, built in fan, two switches and an acrylic shield. It is almost identical to the Current USA Orbit PC fixture. One of the four moonlites is not working though and the PC bulbs by SunPac have about 3-4 months use.
Originally bought for $289. The similiar Orbit can be viewed here:

For $35 more, I'll include 4 brand new SunPaq 65w PC bulbs, basically 1/3 rd of the cost if you had to purchase them:

I have a 48" Current PC lighting fixture 2x65watts + moonlight + mounting legs that I've been meaning to list but been to lazy. The bulbs have about 3-4 months of life left in them (actinic/10k). The actual fixture is about 8 months old and is sitting in my closet since I started a reef tank. Selling for $80. PM me if interested.

Thanks
