Catherine, just to be clear, I'm not saying that 175w don't work, I ran them for a long time with decent results. Only when i went to bigger lights I got better color. I was able to upgrade at the time for no cost to me, so I wouldn't recommend throwing away 175s to get something else.

Try Amazon.ca, or Chapters. They are often considerably cheaper then in stores.

Hey Mik,, , I know these books seem really expensive but the wealth of information that they provide you will end up saving yoou so much money and disapointment in the long run that they will easily pay for themselves. Books can be some of the best investments you'll make in the hobbv.

Yup, and at this point, the book would be better for you, your tank, and all its inhabitants.
