75 gal Lighting

nigel1088 · 01-07-2007, 03:32 PM

hi, i'm having trouble finding lighting for my 75 gal tank that is in the range of 300 - 450 watts for Power Compacts. I'm going to have a fish and reef tank. Are there any great websites or stores that would be able to help me?

Take a look at a couple of our sponsors. Marine Depot or Premium Aquatics immediatly come to mind.

With a range of 300 - 450 watts, is there a reason you are going with power compacts instead of MH? I ask because I have a 75 gal and have 2 175w MH with 220w of atinics and I really wish I would have gone for 2ea 250w MH instead of the 175s.

the reason is b/c PC's are cheaper then MH, i'm trying not to break the bank. I've called around a couple stores and they suggested HQI, (mix of PC and MH) anyone know anything about it?
