I found a MH retro kit, electronic ballast, reflector, socket and 400w bulb for $225. I'm almost done with my new tank and need more lighting. Does anyone know of the same setup for cheaper?
Actually I would purchase it from captivereefs.com even though it costs $5 more. I hold that store in the highest regards; IMHO it's very rare for me to find a business I actually have pleasure dealing with and that store is in the top as far as I am concerned. Note that I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Actually it'll likely be cheaper because we get a 6% discount there.
Copy and paste from the site. Is this the same you're selling CR?
