I have only ever had a PC light fixture over my reef tank but I am considering setting up a MH/PC hood combo. I would like 2 - 250w MH 10000K daylights and 2 - 55 watt PC 7100k blue actenics. My question is what are the exact components needed to make this happen? Will I need a seperate ballast for each MH and then one for the PC's (3 total?) I also need to know what other accesories are needed (reflectors, endcaps, fans, anything else?) and how everything ties together so I don't burn my house down! If you would also be kind enough to let me know of any place cheap to get this stuff as well it would be appreciated!!! Thank you!

You can get a duel ballast for your MH's. Then you will need a Ballast that can power 2 55w pc's. You will need sockets and reflectors for the MH's. And you will need waterproff endcaps for the pc's. A reflector for the pc's. Maybe a few fans for heat. And you should be set. Can't list sites on here.
