lights for sale?

[Dert42]

I need to light my new 165.
The area in my hood that i can mount lights is about 70" by 17"
I need VHO or compact. i think i prefer VHO, but what do I know?

i could do a 4x60" setup from hellolights, but with bulbs and shipping i'm over $500.

anyone have any suggestions/options or lights for sale?

If you are not going to go with MH's them IMO Vho's are the way to go allthough there is a groing num. of pepole getting into yhe T5's because they take less power than the VHO's and less heat. the reson I like VHO's better is that they put out more light, most brands have biult in reflectors, and the bulbs are cheaper

i'm pretty sure that with my hood, the MH will melt the acrylic. and i would like to stick with my current hood.

PCs seem like you need to many and it gets too expensive to light such a big tank...
