    You usually get what you pay for and that is really cheap for a MH system like that. You may find problems with the wiring and ballasts. However, if you are fairly handy, you can always replace or upgrade the ballasts and wiring.

    Well, what size tank do you have? Is heat an issue? What type of corals do you want to keep?
