If any one can post some really good links to some really cheap metal halide setups it would really help out alot. Im looking for like a 10,000 K bulb setup.

Hi starsbravo,

Is this for your 55 gallon reef tank? If so I assume you want two bulbs, one for each side? Are you very "handy" with DIY hardware?

I went link surfing :) See if any of these are what you are looking for.

Try these guys on eBay. They carry MH fixtures, retros and parts. Their prices aren't too bad, either.
