    Whats the catch guys? It seem like a pretty good deal. 175 watt MH Retro for $75 minus bulb. Its another $79 for a 14K bulb it seems like a pretty good deal.

    Huh.. that's not bad. Looks like you still need a couple things ... a switch and a reflector. A good reflector might run you a few bucks, but that's a pretty good deal all the same.

    I recognize that site now. I believe I've heard decent things about it.

    I think it depends on how much of a DIY guy you are and how many bulbs you need. If you need more than one, you might find something nice for not much more.

    Bulb selection is slimmer for 175s as opposed to 250s too.

    They sell 250 setup too. I just thought it would be a bit much for my 29g ;D

    Good point! 175 would be fine. I noticed they sell reflectors too. ;)
