Ahh, ya! You'll cook everything. I thought you were making a tank.

Both actually. I will probley use the PC for the grow out. and the 400w MH for a 120g tank. I was really inquiring about my tank lighting

Oh. The 400MH will be good for your 120g(we're talking 2ft deep, right?) but will not be good for 6" zoo growout tray unless you leave a lot of room between zoos and bulbs.

Ya thats what a figured. THanks

I was just wondering if I should use PC on my tank or MH. Cost of Hydro is what I am worried about, and thought PC would ease it a little. But then again I want a good looking tank too.

Really, the cost of hydro here is minimal. The difference betwee PC an MH won't make much difference at all to your monthly bill. I bet you'd save more by switching to PC for your household lighting. Oh, and use the power saving feature of your monitor
