where to find the best deal$ for MH's?

[vikingkim]

Hi everyone, I've solved my heat problem, sloped-ceiling problem, and I want MH's!!! Where can I find the best deal? I currently have PC's. I probably am looking at 250w plus an actinic or two for my 55g. My tank houses mainly LPS, softies, and a few SPS now, I am desparately wanting to add acros, maybe a clam or two. Is 250w enough?, what do you all think? TIA!!

If your looking for a magnetic ballast retro, which is what I have, and I like it fine, check this out:

you can choose pulse start, or probe.....probe works fine for most bulbs, even if it takes a few tries to start. I believe radiums need a pulse start?

I have had considerable luck cash-wise with eBay...I got 2-250wtt MH for 75.00...happy me! They are wonderful lights and I haven't had any problems with them! I have gotten most of my equipment from eBay, with no bad experiences so far (knock on wood) Hope this helps. Best of luck!
