Does anyone know a good online site for CHEAP lights.
I would like to increase the lighting in my tank.
Metal Halide or such,
Fixture ( 20in.x 6in.) would be ideal.
300-400 watts.
My current lighting is only 80 watts i think.
( 2 coralife 50/50's - 40watts each.)
Any suggestion or ideas or sites?

well, cheaper is always the way that my wallet tends to favor...
I have seen MH fixtures that are much cheaper for hydroponic applications on the net.. It seems that as soon as the word "aquarium" is added to a MH fixture, the price tends to get a little "salty" (pun intended.. lol)
as for me, I am going to go all DIY for my MH project when I get around to doing it for my 75.. if you but all of the components seperately IMHO, you seem to save a lot of cash when you build them into your own canopy... although some of those $1000 48" fixtures are pretty darn nifty looking.. lol

I put two 175 mh and 4 110 vho on my 110 for 450.00 including the bulbs. Let me know if you want the link. But I built my own canopy so that i could save.

Yes, please on the link. We're building a canopy too. I have 660 VHO on the way, but would like one MH as well.
