VHO's and end cap length

Postby Breadman on Tue Jan 18, 2005 8:08 am

I'm building a canopy for my new 100 gallon tank this week and I need some measurements. Along with the three MH's in the hood I will also be putting four 60" VHO's. Does anyone know the total length of this bulb with water proof end caps? I don't want to get the canopy built and then find out my lights won't fit.

I can measure mine when I get home if nobody else has let you know by then.

Thanks. So 61" should hold everything.

That would be plenty for the vhos. I've olny got about 1" of space on each end of my Vhos. I made my top so that it hindge up with all of the bulbs attached so it makes it a lot easier to change bulbs and digging around in the tank.
