Well I got the bulbs and I turned em all on. I all need now is to cut a hole in my hood and install them. I'll post pics of the diy and the effect on the tank likely tomorow evening.
 Looks like your outa luck kate I like em plenty. As for the final cost Two 175 watt ballasts $76 Two 3 month old Bulbs $50 Two Moguls $12 Some scrap aluminum $00 A dead 286 Computer $00 Some Diy and TLC $00 Way brighter tank that can house corals PRICELESS Well almost 138 Canadian about 56.33 GBP or 87.36 USD Pretty good for a dual 175

The Computer was gutted andused as power supply for some cheap DC computer case fans to cool the lights and to house the ballasts. It was really a perfect combonation.

Too bad you couldn't keep the motherboard and a drive and set it up as a Timer for the lights and everything.
