Well you have to understand blemmy has a pretty big tank "125" so it would probly need 3 175 metal halide's and 4 pc suppliments. I am tired of looking at pc and vho and all that I think Im just gonna break down and buy a double 175 with 2 vho or 2 pc suppliments. They run around $400 new but if you search you can find one cheaper and if you look really hard you can find one used for alittle lower price I am going to buy new mabey used "if I know who im getting it from" I dont want to have to worrie about other ppls problems "getting a bad light"

That seems like a really good price for all of that lighting and with shipping included.
Post some pics once you get the lights installed!

Two 250 Watt DE HQIs, you'll be able to keep anything you want.

Are you sure they're not 150s? I've only see 150s, 250s and 400s in DE HQI systems (unless they are a new light wattage- in which I would be wrong)
