KarenM Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm new to reefing and trying to set up a saltwater tank on a freshwater budget. I'm looking for some really inexpensive 30" or less MH lights so I can buy my first frags. I can also chip in a 20 gal tank with hood, light, filter, gravel some small plastic plants, a 15lb+ gorgeous holey rock and a large piece of wood if any of this would lower the price any. Thanks!

Headless_donkey Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Check out this thread from nano-reef.com. They talk about a DIY metal halide retro. $50 is super cheap for a 70 watt MH. If not check into some T5 retro fit kits from Hellolights.com. They are about $100 and T5 lights will definitely grow coral. Just some thoughts. -James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenM Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Somebody just posted some 150w MH in the for sale forum. I don't see it. Unless you're talking about the ARO thing. I'm new to SW, and don't know what ARO means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 That is the brand of the Ballast. It is a MH light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
