I was looking at Home Depot today and saw that they sold 4 different outdoor fixutres for mercury vapor lights. The prices ranged from $24.97-$57.85. Can I use these lights for my reef tank or not?
Does anyone know what type of light spectrum these mercury vapor bulbs put out?
How do they compare to VHO tubesor Metal Halide bulbs?
How many Lumens will I need for a 220 Gallon tank?
I just have not found much information on these types of bulbs. I do know some people use them. It sure would be nice to be able to use these type of lights and not have to spend so much on metal halide or VHO ballasts.
All comments are greatly appreciated.
