eBay is the cheapest I've seen.CrazedAce said:Very good point on the fact that it will eventually cost me the same amount eventually. So does anyone know where the best/cheapest place to order Finnex is?
I second that! This exactly what I did. Cory uses these on his tanks, for a time I think he had all 3 different RAYs on display. I consulted, read about, then was able to see these fixtures in action.BallardFishGuy said:If you're going to go online I would price check for sure...I have Amazon Prime so I almost always go with them and the free shipping. Although Cory has them in his shop and it is nice to support your LFS..and it's great that you can see them in his tanks at his shop so you know what you're getting and see how it would work on your tank.
& I think it's the MONSTER RAY that makes fish colors POP in a fish only tank!BallardFishGuy said:I would say you would want Finnex Ray2 for a planted tank and Fuge Ray for fish only or lower light plants...if you go for them that is.
:iagree:Klaude said:I'm very happy with the 48" Ray2 and the 12" FugeRay I got from Cory.
Actually the best growth out there is by LED...but you have to get good quality ones, and it's a new and emerging tech so plenty of low quality ones. Just like a regular old fashioned screw in light bulb wouldn't do much for you plants compared to a T5HO or Halide bulb.CrazedAce said:Alright, I am just going to assume that LED SUCKS with plant growth. Just going to order some T5 HO fixtures.

I think that should be adequate for what I am looking for.
You will get what you pay for.CrazedAce said:What does everyone think of these?
The only thing concerning me about these is the low lumens. Do you think it would suffice to grow medium light plants?
Wherever there is a market you will find a company trying to cash in.hyp3rcrav3 said:I have been seeing that there are lighhts for aquariums that merely illuminate and others that are tune to the frequencies plants use. The latter are much more expensive. Must be one of the LEDs has an unusual dope (ingredient).
