I just picked up a kit here www.aquaticlight.com Then I picked up a 10k 175watt bulb from www.insidesun.com for $30. If anyone comes up with better prices let me know

I started doing a DIY metal Halide project and was running out ideas of what to use to enclose it because I didn't really want to use wood. While at Lowes today I found a galvanized steel planter in the garden section which measures 9" x 24" for $12. It is also 7" tall. This should make a...

I am going to set up a 29 gallon reef. I plan on keeping easy to care for corals. Can I get by with NO fluorescent ? Should I go with Power compacts ? Metal halide ? Sugestions on corals would be helpful too and yes I will use the search button. Thanks everyone
