T5 of T8 Lighting

[Enemyarms]

Here is my question.

I have a 125 gal that a guy gave me for damn near nothing. And when i got it home i could see why. It needs a LOT of work. Needs glass cut for the lids ($30 from lowes) paint scrapped off the back of it, and some lights. Ive looked online but i haven't found anything that looks that great. I really wish i could keep this but my gf says i need to find a new home for it. With that being said, i would like to at least price out my options for both a T5 light and a T8 light. The tank is 72 inches long, so 2 light fixtures would be ideal. Where would i get said fixture for not an arm or a leg? Would LED be a nice idea also? I know its a bit more costly but it could be the big selling point.

Why not try lowes, or home depot

I checked lowes, they dident have really want i was wanting, there LEDS looked amazing, but i was really wanting blue. There light strips may be the way ill have to go, but thought some people may have ideas from stuff they had seen online.


In my tank i may at some point, but my red bellys cant leave stuff alone, so most likely not. For the 125 im selling who knows. It was a salt tank but i dont know what the next person may use it for.

I just bought 3 fixtures from aquatraders.com. HORRIBLE customer service, but the price is right and they have built on blue LEDs for moonlights. I am happy with the quality.

Was there something you needed fixed? How did you find out about the customer service? If they have the LEDS built in, that would be amazing. let me see what i can find.
