Where to get lights for my 300!

Texastravis · 08/05/2008, 06:17 AM

Setting up my 300 gallon and need some lights. Im not exactly new to the hobby but when it comes to purchasing lights I have no idea where to get them! my tank is 8' x 28" x 28" so I think I want 4 250 watt MH with either 12k Reeflux or 14K Phoenix, I cant decide!. I will have all sorts of coral in the tank.

I want to find a place to order some MH fixtures/lamps/ballasts and I want them cheap but with good reflectors like the LIIIs. Where to go!!!? Thanks

Thats a long tank. I found some lights at www.reefgeek.com that are really nice. Good luck finding one thats 8ft long though.

I'll second reefgeek, I've bought most of my lighting equipment from them.

Thanks for the replys, im looking for just 4 metal halide fixtures with decent reflectors and ballasts. Reefgeek looks kinda expensive since you have to order the ballasts and fixtures/reflectors seperate.
