Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi all,
Haven't posted in a while but am after a bit of advice. Hope you can help.
I have an arcadia series 3 pendant light system with 2 x 30watt acintics and 2 x 150watt double ended metal halides with an Rx7s lamp cap.
I need to replace all my bulbs but am dreading the cost of the halides (last time I looked they were going to cost me £45 each!)
So I have a plan but am not sure if it will work. Can I use 150watt halogen bulbs for security lights? Are they the same thing or are marine aquarium lights special in any way to warrant the enormous additional costs.
I don't want to kill my corals trying to cut corners. But I'd quite like to save some money.
Any help or advice welcome.
Thanks
