Also what would be the best reflectors/ballasts ?
I am looking for good quality but i dont want to break the bank.
The budget is like $100-$250
I am looking at mostly used equip...
I am thinking 10k bulbs?
what you guys think... i will be keeping mostly zoos and softies. I am thinking about a few LPS and the hardier SPS later on.
I definately will be getting a clam at some point?
Just my thinking. You need to get your thinking up if you are going to have sps, clams etc. This is not a cheap hobby! I use these,

48" with (2) 250 MH. Not going to get much for what you have in your pocket at this time. Yes you will need supplemental lighting. Just my 2 cents.
