Lighting for a 75G reef

Well that makes sense about th natural light that comes into the room. DUH... Yea I dont know what I meant by the CF either, But I found a 48" Ice cap VHO Flourscent retro kit with 4 lamps 440W/IC660 ( 2 Atinic blue and 2 Atinic white ) for $314.00. Is this too much since I'm going to use 2-250 14K MH's, cuz there was also same retro kit but it had either a 2 lamps 220W/IC430, or 3 Lamps 330W/IC660. And the MH that I found were 2 Ice Cap 250W ballast using 14K bulbs. The reason for so many questions is that I only want to buy once, and not have change later because it's not enought or too much light. Thanks Jeff

 

This is what the Tangster fixed me up with and they are so bright you almost need sunglasses when they come on...8)
U.R.I. Super Actinic Bulbs
Coralife End Caps and Heavy Duty Clips

Then you can pick up the ballast of your choice based on how may watt bulbs you are using.

 

Wait until you see the 12 inch LED moonlite I built you.. Totaly water proof you can sink it and run it under water if you want LOL Will last you about 10 yrs I'm desinging a dimmer box for the moons now. It will all be plug and play modules you'll see. They are going out in the moring all boxed and ready..

 

If you need help with VHO contact me I'll help you out .. I just want to see you get right the first time less stress and money P/M me if you want . Even the M/H sockets and holder..I have some 6 month old 250 HQI ballast also..cheap as they are underfoot all day. There are about 10 of them
