need lighting recommendations for 37g

[Deserter23]

Hey guys, thinking of going BB on 37g Oceanic and need to pick up some lighting. Will have mostly LPS and if all goes well a few SPS.

Recommendations on what lighting to get that will fit on a 24w Oceanic cube? I'm very price conscious.

24wide x 18 deep x 20 tall

250watt hqi =)

also look into illuming.com's retrofit kits. there are some very cheap prices there.

For HALIDE, what about this one: 250 HQI reefstar @ $300
*How do I decide which bulb to get?

I like these reflectors

I think the mini one should be good for your tank. It might be a little big but if you upgrade the tank later on, you don't have to upgrade the reflector. I like Icecap ballast because it's cool and quiet. As for bulb, everyone is different. I like 12K reeflux bulb but not everyone likes it ..

If this pendant too big for your tank, check out PFO pendant.

Thanks for the recommendations.

I've noticed a lot of people are selling their lighting setups (pendents and ballast). If anyone has a good setup for sale that would fit a 37g please PM me.
Thanks guys

Looking at a 250w PFO Pendant with a Blueline E-Ballast and Hamilton 20K bulb. Any thoughts?

I'm getting a SE Lumenarc A3 Mini. Any local stores or reefers with one for sale? Do pendants usually come with the hanging kits or do I need to buy seperate?
