For those who know a little bit about MH lighting, i've been trying to put together a diy metal halide fixture. there's plenty of mods and creations using 70w and 150w, but just recently i found a guy selling a 200w (no bulb) for 50 dollars, the whole thing. but my question is...can you buy appropriate lights for a 200w fixture?

yeah this is actually from a demolition company that's getting rid of them, does anyone know if you can run 150w lights in a 200w ballast? or maybe even 250w lights?

and kahluazz you live in canada too, i remember you gave me some good links a while back for canadian suppliers, can you send me some again?

oh, my bad...aquapassion ships across canada. Man the LR is excellent. Bought my Vanuatu there...now it's like 6 $ a pound even if you buy just one.
And this is cured stuff..sweet shapes too.
Check out the prices of the fishies...not bad hey ? Snails too. All creatures is their tanks are colorful and healthy...never noticed a crappy or diseased fish.
This is not a huge store, but the guys are great and know their stuff.
I give them a 5 out of 5 ;)

to hell with crosby, i'd slit his throat. Only kidding, we go to school together he's a nice guy, it's really weird to see he's already getting really famous (as i understand it), we've been friends for a while.

that's a good deal on the ballast, but not as good as i'm hoping. I'm hella cheap, only because i'm hella poor.
