light for 29g

[spineshank385]

175w ARO metal halide
20k XM bulb

Ballast, Reflector, and Bulb cost me around $150 from hellolights.com

if you know someone that is good at DIY, get them to build you a hood and pay them...it would still probably be cheaper.

I've got a DIY canopy, with a 175W MH coralife 14,000K and I am still debating on weather to add an actinic PC, I've got a PC ballast laying just need a bulb, and clips. But I am starting to really like the look of the MH alone. Oh, sorry this is over a 20g Long. I am planning on upgrading to a 29g within a month or two and plan on using the same canopy and stand.
