Thanks!
I did check out Hellolights and this is one of the places I might be purchasing from.
I sent email a few days back asking a couple questions on the ballasts But no replys yet.

what type of hood do you have? is it plastic? i had a plastic hood and was trying a 500 watt light.. it kinda melted my hood.. you might wanna build your own canopy to fit your needs.. i never tried that site but it doesnt look all great.. probably a new site.. doesnt even have pictures for more than 25% of the item..

My Hood is wood that matches my stand.
But I might not be abe to use this if The MH.s have to be a certain height above the water.
Right? I am kinda confused with the Hallide PCs that come with legs that stand 6 " off the top of the tank. Wouldn't any M.H heat up the water too much that close?
or is this where chillers have to be purchased?
