  • 75 gallon light suggestions

    I got my 75 in place and running. I went with soil master select charcoal that I got from my neighbor Curtis at Lesco in the woodlands.  I made a cave from a clay pot and a piece of flagstone i cut for my last aquarium. Then created a tarraced effect with that and another piece. Going to find the perfect piece of driftwood to center the other 2/3s of the tank. What I'm really interested in are lights though. I need to find a good deal on 200 watts+ of PC. Of if its possible I'd like to find a 2 x 100 or 2 x 75 metal halide. Is it possible to run 2 x 100 off of a 200 watt ballast? I can't find low wattage electronic ballasts at a good price. (or good plant bulbs either)  

    Pet supply Liquidator has a good deal on ballast and bulbs, 2 x 96 for 85, but reflectors and clips can add a bunch. I wonder if i can find mylar at Hobby lobby...

    Any suggestions are appriciated!

    Sorry about the poor pic, just moved and forgot the usb cable for the canon

            THANX! i love the cave. all i did was take a diamond saw to a piece of flag stone and hot glue a 6 inch pot to the back.  Now that I think about it I should have taken some pics of the construction to post.
