Doug, you know you can go getto with MH also, get basic 250 watt ballast (only 1) and use a sunmaster bulb or something like that. will be under 100 for the set up. then youse the VHO ballast you just got to run some used VHO actinics or go with Phillips 03's NO on the VHO ballast (I did that and the bulb last about 8 months but at 15.00 each it is a cheep start)
this way you will not be restricted in the placment of corals like Rich is.
