MH Pendants

I am thinking of going back to MH. I was wondering who makes the quality pendants. Which has the best reflectors. Also what about ballast? Looking at hanging them over my 120- 48x24x24. I have all the room in the world as it is open top euro-braced. I am thinking about 2-250's.

Thanks

Metal halide is the way to go.

Right now, I am using two Hamilton Cayman Sun 250 watt HQI pendants. They are very good reflectors. Very high output.

Two of those would be great for a 48" Tank.

i have lumenarc 3's i think. i bought them used. they are 22x22x9. used two on my 6ft tank. i recently switched to a MH pc light combo since i have softy lps tank and the l3's were too much. i can get away with less MH light
