NanoReefer53 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 3500 is waaaayyy too low. I would suggest getting PC bulbs from places like www.hellolights.com or www.ahsupply.com. The bulbs can be fired up by ballasts that you can probably get at your local light shop for a whole lot cheaper. Link to comment
fish04 Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 MO...do a little more research before getting into this project. Most people run a combo of 6400K and 10000K lights. You will be VERY hard pressed to find that kind of light in your lighting store. Follow 53's advice...those two stores are where you want to buy from. Also check out the General Discussion on this web site. Read for a coulpe of weeks then, come up with a plan, then throw it out to all of us. You'll end up happier in the long run...trust me!
