Some cool new lights
So I'm in the middle of getting together the equipment for my new 210gal and lighting has been a big question for me. T5's or halides? Well?... How bout HID's. This is the fixture I've chosen to go with. Josh at Marine Aquaria is gonna hook me up. http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/cat...oducts_id=3372. Something kinda new but looks pretty sweet. Does anyone have any feedback on using HID's? I remember a post in regards to a DIY HID setup but can't find it. Just wondering if anyone's had any luck with HID.

Those look so cool! If you try them out you should do a review on here about them.

I thought you were going FOWLR....HID bulb is just another MH in different format(please correct me if I am wrong). You are going to need at least 6 - 8 T5's for your tank without using MH. Mr Alberta had a good looking light set for sale

This is another article on the fixture. And yes the HID is another style of halide. http://www.reefbuilders.com/2008/10/...to-us-reefers/

the bulbs in that pic look like a 150w MH with a socket on the end. so pretty much a SE 150 watt MH with a bi-pin mount instead of a mogal base. Steve
