What type of MH's to get

[Demonic]

Ok I am about ready to just go ahead and upgrade my lighting to MH. I have read and read but there are so many mixed opinions on what to get that I just cant decide. I want to run 2X250 on a 125 gal. Can anyone suggest which ballast, socket, and bulbs to get and why you have or want them.....Any help is appreciated.....

What are the dimensions of the 125g?

If its 6ft long with a depth of 18" I'd say atleast 3x250w MH lamps. One lamp per two feet.

so, 3 lumenarc mini's?


I just switched from DE to SE. I do personally prefer SE. I just like the selection of bulbs better and i like the spread.

The only DE bulb i really liked was the Phoenix 14K, especially since i dont run atinics.

I have tried several SE and i really like the Radium 20K bulb the best of all that i have tried, SE or DE.

DE for the most part you will get better PAR
