FS: Coralife 48" 260W CFL Light Fixture

jrman83 · 06-02-2011, 08:37 PM

Here is a link to the fixture to read the specs: Compact Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: Coralife Aqualight Double Compact Fluorescent Strip Lights

This thing has been on top of my 75g for about 8 months now and has grown every plant I have put in it. It has more than enoug power to do whatever you want. I used it for about 4 months without CO2 and never had an issue. Nothing wrong with it, I just upgraded to a T5HO light.

SOLD

Here it is on my tank

jrman83 · 06-07-2011, 09:23 AM

No response, huh? Would be great for a 55-75g tank, or just about any 48" wide tank.

mec102778 · 06-07-2011, 10:40 AM

GGGrrrrrrr. 190$ not in the picture for me at the moment. But if it's still available when I have the money I'll take it off your hands no problem.

majerah1 · 06-07-2011, 10:50 AM

Yes its a great deal!Sadly the longest tank I have is 30" so its too big for mine.

Lovely tank,BTW.You can just bring that over with the light and set it up for me.

mec102778 · 06-07-2011, 10:53 AM

LOL@ Bev, that's your answer to any tank you like isn't it?

jrman83 · 06-07-2011, 10:56 AM

That would cost a bit more. Thanks for the compliment. I broke all of that down a few weeks ago. Looks nothing like that now.

majerah1 · 06-07-2011, 11:42 AM

OF course,Mike!

So if its tore down,that will be even easier!

jrman83 · 06-07-2011, 11:58 AM

Just tore down from what you see in that pic. A re-build has already occured.

mec102778 · 06-07-2011, 12:02 PM

HA BEN! Can I put it on Layway? However I did find possibly a decent light on e-bay for 50$.

jrman83 · 06-09-2011, 08:29 PM

You should have good enough light for your tank with what you have. Dual tube T5HO?

jrman83 · 06-10-2011, 06:33 PM

okay, just let me know.

Rob72 · 06-10-2011, 06:34 PM

do the legs come with it also, can they be turned around the other direction so they will lay on top of my tank, it is like Mikes, flat top with 2 holes in the center of the tank

Rob72 · 06-10-2011, 06:35 PM

ok sounds good thanks a million ben

jrman83 · 06-10-2011, 06:38 PM

Legs will go also. They are made to grip the outer edge. Flipping them around wouldn't work. You could modify the legs and just take the part that overhangs off with a dremel or something. I wouldn't though. It would make it free to move around. The way it is, it's locked onto the top of the tank.

Rob72 · 06-10-2011, 06:43 PM

ok sounds good i can look into doing somthing to it so it dosent move around once its here and all, i dont think it would be that big of a deal

majerah1 · 06-10-2011, 09:59 PM

Mines not a coralife,but I think my legs are made the same,and I wouldnt modify either.My light fits nice and snug so less worry about the fat cat pushing it off.

Its a very good deal too,looks nice.
