Very Nice.....thanks a million.

I found a retrofit kit with four lights, but what type of bulbs do I choose? It would be useless to get the light kit with the wrong bulbs; right? Also do these kits mount to my cover? My current lighting system just sits on the glass covers to my tank and I have a wood cover over that in order to keep everything hidden and looking good, would I simply mount this to the inside of the wood cover?
Thanks Again
Vic

One more question....(sorry) Do you think I can keep my current lighting system (I love the blue colors) and simply add a Metal Halide light to the tank?

URI bulbs in the case of flouresents. 50/50 super actinic white and actinic (blue) you'll love em.
If you chose one with a MH then its a different ball game.

I've got a 90 gallon with an icecap 660 ballast and 4 110 URIs. 2 50/50 and 2 blue. You'll love them. I have a bubble tip and its doing great. Just wish I could get my clowns to host!

OK let's see if I'm getting this right. I currently am ordering a VHO 4 bulb retrofit system with 2 URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO and 2 URI Agua D Super Actinic VHO #10 BLUE. Is this the correct bulbs I should use.
Thanks
Vic

Looks good to me. Not familiar with that ballast but if it is rated at 440 watts then should be ok. Those are the bulbs I have and they are working great for me.
Good Luck.

URI AQUA-D Super Actinic does not have the internal reflector. I would prefer the ones that did have the internal reflector. Otherwise looks ok to me.

I ordered that set right after I posted it on here. I hope it comes soon, sudenly he seems a little smaller and not as active. Also my cleaner shrimp seem to hang all over him, is this normal or are they bothering him.
Thanks
