Lighting Question

[xp160]

I currently have a saltwater tank and am looking into upgrading to 6500K-10000K MH lights. I really would like to not have to pay $400 for the setup. I have a 29 gal tank and was wondering if anyone could recommend a brand/place I can find these lights at a reasonable price.

$199 new, found nearly everywhere. 175 watt metal halide. Would be awesome, IMO, on your tank.

Personally I'd go with a 10k over 6500k bulb, but to each their own

or even a 20k for that deep blue "deep water" effect.
