Metal Halides!

[d9hp]

Well guys, i was looking for me some lighting for a 5.5 nano i am about to do, and found this. I use eBay a lot, so i see some deals. This has 6 days left, so it will get a bit pricey, but it may not get too high. Thought i would share it.

Metal Halide bulbs, ballast, and reflector. (right now at a cent)

Looks like a good deal, but why not just go with 1-175w MH over your nano? Either or you are going to have to mount hella fans to keep the tank cool.

I have decided on doing a 10 gallon!

one MH would be hella expensive too

I am doing two PCs, how much light do you need for acros?
