DIY Metal Halide Lighting Hot Top Rated
Introduction

While everyone involved in reef keeping agrees good lighting is one of the keys to success, not every one agrees on which type of lighting is the best. Clearly, no one type of lighting is best for all situations, and the ultimate decision about which type is best for your reef tank depends on a lot of factors. If you decide to use metal halide lighting for your tank, then the first thing that becomes apparent is that the initial investment is quite substantial. Commercial metal halide lighting systems are not inexpensive. Most range from $500 to over $1,000. This represents about 1/3 to 1/2 of the total cost of setting up a reef tank. Since commercial lighting systems are so expensive, the first question many people ask is "Can I build a MH lighting system?". The answer is yes! Better yet, it is not difficult at all. - Visit Homepage
