Hi, I need help picking out a MH retro kit for a 54gal corner tank. As of now it is a FOWLR, but I want to start grow zoos and mushrooms, etc. I have a 130w CF that I will incorporate into the canopy to assist the MH. This is the setup I am considering IceCap 175 Watt Metal Halide Retrofit Kit

Whatever you do, do not buy a sunpod, unless you have a GOOD bulb manufacturer making them. The oem bulb that came with my 250W MH fixture burned right out after two months and Ive been waiting for a replacement for a few days now. I Bought an Ushio bulb instead of the cheapness that came with it.

I disagree with CGJ as i really like the Sunpod bulbs. Maybe he just received a bad batch. I have good luck with them and also like their output.
At least Sunpod is replacing the bulb!
P.S. - Links are not allowed on the forums and the one you posted will soon get deleted.

Sorry about the link, I didn't read it until after I posted it. Anyway I ordered the IceCap 175 Watt Metal Halide Retrofit Kit. I will go back and edit the post.
