What about this for temp lighting?

[EQCM2B]

Cruising on another forum I found someone using this light for their fuge. How do you think it would do for a main tank temporarily? Right now all I have is the 18 watt NO daylight that came with the tank. I realize that it might be a little yellow but at 500 watt output, wouldn't it be better than what I have now. They said they only paid about $40.00 for it at HD. Could I use this until I get my 250 watt MH?

Actually the output on those is at 6500K, which is well within acceptable coloring for things. A lot of folks use them over refuges and such as well. And umpteen times better that what you have running now :)

In other words it would probbably work out well fora while. Not sure how long they hold up before shifting coloring.... But they are reasonably cheap $40 at HD.

There are a couple of threads here about them, you'd have to search them out, bit if you try it for your display let's us know how it works out!
