Like my pooch huh

he's my crazy little boy. I forgot to mention that the MH lighting is a good heat source in winter and torchure in summer but its still a great light source for corals. Setting up for a metal halide system is going to be expensive but don't rush into any unit right away, shop around and find something that will fit your budget. My total light fixture cost me 500 after I was finished building it. Have you tried looking on ebay.ca you may possibly find something on there you never know.
