Best MH Bulb Source
- Thread starter beermanic
- Start date
Well, I got 2-175 MH units. I ordered some bulbs from Hellolights.com. They were having a special on the 20,000K bulbs and I got two of these. I wasn't sure whether I should get the 10,000k or 20,000k bulbs, so I picked the cheaper of the two. I will use this with a combination of Actinic Blue 40 Watt bulbs.
I have started to fill the tank with RO water. This will take a while because my unit only puts out so much water at a time. I figure a few days and I should hopefully be full. I will then put in some salt and air and run the water through a pump and some filter material to take out the dust and any floating stuff in the Aragonite sand.
Any opinions on MH bulbs 20k or 10k, which one is better. I know each one is better for certain things but in general which one allows me the greater number of choices for coral. I don't plan on putting in any fish for at least a year or more. I want to get a good reef going first.
All comments are welcome.

They have 175w 10,000 for $39.99 and 250w for $49.99 Seems pretty cheap to me. Here's the direct link

I have not purchased from them, but a few people on reef central have.
