I want to get a pair of 175 watt MH lights retro for my 55gal tank because what i understand they are the best you can get, but i dont have all the money to do that right now so i would like to buy it in pieces. Can you guys or gals tell me everything that i will need to buy to put these lighting systems together. ie ballast, reflectors, bulbs, and anyhting else i need to get up and running. Also if you have brand names that I should look for and or websites to find them that would be great. Thank you for all that help.... Oh yea i dont have tons of money and i wont be putting in hard to keep corals ect... Just low difficulty corals and LR and fish..

why not run dual 250's? www.oceanencounter.com has the evc tech 250w retro kits for $159.95. they come with reflector, ballast and bulb. or you could try www.hellolights.com.
