hey guys my light just blew out on my tank and it was a PC

im looking to upgrade to MH but dont know any low priced legit brands or website to go to... i was looking for some wisdom from y'all. its a 45 gallon tall, and i dont think ill have any serious LPS i think im sticking to SPS and maybe a clam once i get the light up....can any of you show me the "light"?
 
Well, you won't find "cheap" MH lighting, and its not worth gambling on any cheap lighting you may find. I have MH light and I like it. I like the shimmer effect you get with it. It does kick off some heat though, and has a fairly large power comsumption for lighting. If I were you I would check out T5. Anyway, this is the fixture I have. http://www.marineandreef.com/shoppro/metal_OuterOrbit.htm

P.S. Don't fall for that Jebo or Oddysea light fixture they have on ebay. It is cheap for a reason!
 
One more thing..... "serious LPS" don't require the intense lighting and flow that serious SPS do.... I think you got it backwards.....

Explain blow out (bulb or ballast). What do you stock now and were they happy with the lighing (an upgrade may change that).

FWIW if it works don't fix it, if you want to upgrade, be gradual. Which PC arrangement are you using?
