What kind of lights are you using?

[Reefer504]

I use mh & VHO on main tank and Power Compacts Over sump.

[Jollymon]

I've always been a power compact user, even though MH interests me.

[turbopow]

Power compacts!!! I love the look of Metal Halides but the unit i like cost to much!!!

[Irisservice]

I second that for the Aqualine Aquaspacelight. We waste so much time and money trying to achieve the look of these lights when we should have just bought them in the beginning. I still have not ruled them out but at $700-800 for my tank I want to be sure.

I use mh\pc. My first lighting system i decided to go gold. I reaslly wanted to keep good corals so that is why. I find great deals on ebay which is where I bought my light! If anyone really needs suggestion email me! :D

[TimBeR]

I use 2x175 watt 12k Sunburst MH's with 2x96 watt Blue Attinics PC's over the 75 reef tank and 4x55watt PC's over the 75 Fish only tank and 1 55watt PC over the Refugium

I got the MH PC combo Retro Kit From Marine Depot online with Free Shipping a few months ago for $470 All I had to do was mount it into my Canopy The retro kit was fully assembled and wired

The 55 watt PC's I got for 52 dollars each online as well

[Pineapple House]

Im using 4, 65wt PC's (actinic 03) along with 2, 250wt Iwasaki MH over an 80 gallon. I use 3, 40wt NO over my 40 gallon planted tank. I use 2, 20wt NO bulbs on my brakish tank. And 2, 30wt NO over a goldfish tank. For the MH/PC combo, I find the result awesome, not too yellow, not too blue.

PH =)
