i have close to 350$$ right now and i was wandering if i could get a metal halide for my 30 gallon, it is 36" wide: 12" back: and about 18" high so i would need a MH about 36 by 12"
is it possible to get a mh for less than $350 for this tank. my LFS has some for like $564 by i was wandering if there is a better way. specificaly looking for a strong Mh that i can keep clams alive as well as other harder and more light needy corals out there. and yes i know clams have other needs but i was just trying to get the point across what im looking for. advise would be GREATLY appreciated. thx guys and gals

I have seen single 250w retro kits for 250ish online which should be an ok amount for your tank. The 70 I am putting together is also 36" wide but it's 25" high and 18" deep, so I am going with 2- 175w bulbs.

I haven't bought it yet. I will in a couple weeks, although I will be getting the exact same thing from my LFS, not online. The guy is awesome and I buy everything from him. YGM Rubberduck

I bought 2 175's for 220.00 on line. $564.00 is pretty steep
