So, I'm pretty sure I've bored most of you with my constant barrage of lighting questions...but I have another one. Since I'm building my canopy DIY (just got the lumber tonight...nice pine too) I have the option of buying my lighting in segments. I'm going to buy some initial lighting, then the LR to kick the cycle, and then complete the lighting setup as I add cleaners and stuff when the cycle finishes. Here's the completed setup:
4x96 PC for Actinic/03 .+. 3x250w MH 10,000K
Now. The PCs will only actinic. So...here's the deal. My 4x96 PC setup will run me about $325(-ish). A single MH bulb setup will cost me approx $175(-ish). So, which should I do first...a MH bulb? Or the 4x96w PC? Which woud be better for the coraline and which for any coral hitchikers (assuming any survive)? I'm thinking I could save the most stuff by having the single MH (though I know it'll look darn funny 'til I finish the setup!) as opposed to the 4x96. But here's where you glorious people come into play Which do you think? Thanks!
