Doni, you going all T5's? Is that a 2 bulb or 4 bulb kit? One thing I discovered, if you overdrive the bulbs (IceCap 660) be prepaired to change bulbs about every 6 months... Just my experiance.

Just 2 bulbs with a 440. I will order MH soon.

This should be interesting, what did you have before(now)???

Woodstock · 02-20-2007, 03:49 PM

You've not read my retrofit thread

I currently have a Hamilton Canopy with dual 250 watt MH and dual 96 watt PC. I will be retrofitting my new canopy soon!!

sasquatch · 02-20-2007, 04:02 PM

I have too, but Im weak

my memory storage is fragmented, the dog ate my homework, Ill will call if Im going to be late(cant find my stupid liars monthly)
So what prompted the change to t5's when you are doing so well? lol

Woodstock · 02-20-2007, 04:24 PM

You need to read my chronicle thread again

I upgraded from a 90 gal to a 120 and have a matching stand/canopy. My current Hamilton canopy will not fit in my new wooden canopy so I am going to sell it and retro fit my wooden canopy

6 Months is only with improper cooling, Icecap has run T5HO without failing for 2 yrs... That is the main problem with T5s.. Keeping them cool, since we use them near MHs alot...

billyr98 · 02-20-2007, 04:38 PM

Congrats on the Cool Purchase!!

sasquatch · 02-20-2007, 04:42 PM
