Ok,I have officially realized that I cant afford the metal halides that were made specifiacally for a reef,unless anyone has any for under $100.But then again,my reef has to stop being so expensive and the phone bill has to stop being really expensive because of my phone,lol.

But I did find this metal halide light online from lowes,its an outdoor metal halide light,I forget the link,but its only $70 for it.I think i5ts either 100 or 150 watts,that might work.I think.

Has anybody ever tried this???Or do you think I would have to switch the bulb that it comes with to a bulb made for reefs???

it wont work, if it did we would all be using them

 

[mandrin13]

Or maybe it does work,and everyone likes to spend the extra like $400???lol

No, really, it won't work. Very few would be spending so much money on lights if the cheaper ones could work.

 

[mandrin13]

Well what if you changed the bulb to a bulb made for reefs???I think that might work,its worth a shot,but maybe it might help to google it first.

the bulbs are different sizes and aquarium bulbs need a ballast to run them, these lamps dont have ballast's. the only thing that can be used is the reflector(and they suck) and case then you still need a socket, bulb and ballast.
