I've been back and forth with my lighting and I think I just need to supplement my reefbreeders fixture with some T5's.

Looking for a 2x24" T5 Retro kit where each bulb, reflector, etc. can be individually mounted to the front and back of the reefbreeders fixture. I've looked at a few kits and I honestly don't know what is ideal so I thought I'd see if anyone local has something for sale.

Only looking for stuff in full working, good condition. If you have usable bulbs that would be good but not necessary.

Feel free to PM or text what you have, thanks.

P.S. I have Setosa, ORA Red Planet, Green/Blue Tip Torch and a few monti caps that I can frag for trade if desired but will purchase outright if what you have will work for me.

There is a guy selling what you are looking for. He wanted 100$ for both with bulbs. Look for a thread in marketplace for a maxspect razor with the attached to it. He said he would seperate.

I bought a pair of Sunblaster T5 (with reflector ~$70) and Coral Light T5 Lamp - Korallen-Zucht. (~$50 for 2)

I plan on adding both to my Hydra LED for "supplement"

I've looked at these, I'm just not sure how I'd mount them to a reefbreeders fixture. I can't mount it to the bottom of the fixture so I would have to use the venting on the side of the fixture...not sure how to do that and have it angled down.

I'm going to use either 2 pieces of aluminum or maybe wood to form a square and secure to my existing light on the front and back

[MENTION=3628]BeanMachine[/MENTION] thanks for the bump. Yea I have 2 Sunblaster 24" T5 with 2 used ATI bulbs and 2 new ATI bulbs.

As for mounting, I would get the flat aluminum bars. 3M sticky that to the Reef Breeders fixture and clip/screw the Sunblaster to the bars.

I find the LEDs look nice, but T5 will make things grow!

Pics when you're done. I still haven't found a retro kit. The ones Kimle has could work but I'm not really sure. Someone was selling some on reef2reef but looks like they're sold.

Sure, just waiting on the bulbs. I'll start a thread

Got the bulbs today and hooked it up quick with long screws.
