    Hanging MH fixture

    Hi Everyone.. trying to find some hardware for my MH setup. I have seen some of you using what were called 'yo-yo' hangers, so the fixture can be lifted and lower easily above the tank but I cannot find them anywhere?!? Can someone point me in the right direction?

    What about just the 15k bulb? I am understanding it will depend in brand and ballast, but generally they are more blue than not alone right?

    Need help with new light setup

    Hi everyone. I am getting a light setup with 2x 250 MH DE HQI 15k and 4x 56 T5 actinics. What's are everyone's thoughts of the coloration? I'm worried about it being too blue. One thought is only use the actinics for dusk/dawn and not operate during the MH.

    Need help with 90 gal 48" new lights

    It's the evo quad fixture. I didn't realize it was a unit discussed so much here, but I am still no familiar with the led side of things. Like with halides, PCs etc it was all about wattage.... How do you gauge LED? Is 192 LED watts comparable to a higher conventional wattage???
