![]() I want to go with MH lighting for the 180. I want to build a DIY canopy with some retrofit kits inside. Now I've been told everything from 3X250, 3X400, 2X400 with a special reflector to spread out more, 1X400 and 2X250.....you get the idea. Any input? Also can anyone tell me a brand that balances quality and value? I know nothing about MH. thanks!

![]() make sure you get electronic ballasts as they are more efficient and quieter,
Myself i would go with 3 at least on that tank so you get more even distribution. I dont know many ready bought brands as i work for a company that does alot of MH work. Bulbs is probably the hardest to pick i have ushieo (sp?) 14K but i think i would like more blue so next time i am going to try a 20K or maybe use an old pc ballast i have to run some supplimental lighting. |
