Lighting Options

[bladeruner143]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what kind of options were out the for some cheap lighting. On my tank I have some MH, but when they turn off, I'd like some lighting so I can see the tank still. i have one T-6 light that does the job, but the bulb color is really blue. I was thinking of adding another strip just like it or even some kind of power compact strip. So my question is this, the shop lights that they sell at HD, would I be able to find bulbs for those fixtures that have differing Kelvin ratings? Sorry if none of this really makes any sense! BTW, the cheaper, the better!!!

If Rudy passes on the ballast I might be interested. Anything else included besides the ballast (harness, endcaps, standoffs, etc.)?

I think you can find some used actinics and slam some PC's into them cheaply. In fact, Mark09 used to have some lighting laying around, he may swing you a deal if he still has them.
