E-bay and metal halide setups?

[osolow]

I have been setting up a 125 for sometime and now it's light time.
I have been looking at this on ---- for the MH's:

has any one used one or heard any thing on them?
This what I was thinking of getting:
2 X URI Super Actinic 72" 160W
2 x URI Aquasun 72" 160W
3 x 250W MH 10,000K or 20,000K
Moonlights: 1 Incandescent
is this too much...Please give me any input.

I just bought a 2x250w MH from them. 190 shipped! From what I have heard they are pretty good but I havent fired mine up yet. Ballast weighs like 15lbs. I would go for it or check the classifieds section of this and other boards. Always some halides for sale.
All that light will give you about 8w per gallon which is pretty good for some SPS. Go for it

my E-mail is osolow@yahoo.com when you fire it up let me know how you like it.

on a 125 you might want to see if they will upscale it to 400 watters for you for a little more.

he will do the 400w's for 305.00 but will that be too much light with 3 x 400 + 4 x 160 = 1840watts on a 125
this is my first reef it just sounds like a lot of light to me and with that I will probly need to get a chiller right.
thanks for the help.

i have used there products before, when he first started to sell on ----
good product, need to make sure you can cool the heat
it did seem to generate a lot of heat

There are great! I got a dual 175w for my 55 gal. I got mine from bigboyztools tho i think. they are PFO's. Werk great. I am waiting on my Uhsio (sp) 10k's to come in. Right now i have them shut off. I should be geting my good bulbs soon. But so far nothing but happy.

I got their dual 400w and so far so good...
