    I just set up a 75 that came with a combo 4x65 watt power compact and 2x 250 metal halide (all rock, water, sand, etc. from established tanks). I bought the tank used and I am pretty sure the person has not changed the hallides recently due to the fact that the pc's were blackend (already changed those). Any reccomendations on a couple of good hallides bulbs to buy? Cheap, but good options are welcome as well as more expensive ones. Thanks all.

    Pheonix are incredibly good lights, thats what I use on my 120g tank. They are pretty good in the 14k dept. gives it a really nice blue color to it, so as not to need actinics.
