One of my 3 hoods for my 140 gl is now destroyed the bulb melted the plastic holder. I do not know much about lighting. However I can tell you that this particular hood did have 2 36" bulbs that appeared like shop lights, but did say coral life on them. My question is when I buy my new hood, What kind should I get, and is there a good site to find cheaper lighting?

The auction website has some really good deals. I have bought a couple T5 units and they have been fantastic for my reef. I am now upgrading to a 250W MH unit (American made) for about 1/4 of what most aquarium supply stores sell them for.
