    Hey I currently have an outer orbit lighting system 2x150W MH 2x96W dual actinic 420/460 bulbs. I spent a lot on that unit so I feel obligated to use it. I would like to have a fiji purple bulb though. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on an inexpensive but decent ballast and fixture to hold the bulb?

    Thanks!

    if your looking to DIY - all the parts can be bought from aquacave
    ballasts, water proof end caps, reflectors, etc
    might be an economical way of setting up for 1 x supplemental T5 lamp
