snaggle Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The MHs are a little bit of over kill unless you plan on planting the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocker85675 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 metal halides are overkill for just about anything. you can get the same spectrum and almost the same intensity from vho's at a fraction of the operating and replacement cost.
