If ur going FOWLR u can go with a basic hood with florscent lights. If u think ur going to add corals in the future plan on spending $400+, btw what are the dimsensions of your 125?

Yea i mean in the end, the "72" MH lights run like $800. A hood with florscent lights will run u like $50-$100 im not even sure on that to be specific.

I jsut put lights in my 125 a month ago, im running 2x250 watt MH's, and 2 6" VHO bulbs, i think it cost around $300 (we got the MH ballasts used)

search the big auction site for "metal halide 72"...there is a fixture on there for under $500 shipped
