180 gallon tank that will go back together as a FO w/ LR. Lighting budget is about $350-400.00. Here is what I was thinking about. Six 5' VHO's on two of the Hellolights ballasts. Stagger the bulbs a little. This tank probably won't have corals. If there are any, they will be the less demanding ones. It is a customers tank that I will be maintaining, so it will only get real attention every two weeks. I have looked at several sites and priced several different setups including Icecap. I don't see anything else that will give me as much light per dollar as the above including PC's. If anyone has suggestions/comments, you have my undivided attention. Posted question about Hellolights.com in General Retailers Forum also if you've had experience with them. Thanks.

Search on ebay for metal halides. you usually can find retrofits by pfo lighting. ive had great luck with pfo lighting.
