What bulbs? And where did you buy them?

I love the price too The endcaps cost me $21 total. The PFO ballast cost me $60 used a while back and the rest of the scrap aluminum is free. I like free. And my old lights are sold already to be picked up next week to cover some of the cost.

I have 2 KZ fiji purples, and 2 Giesman Aquablue +. I really like it. To be honest with you though, I still haven't seen them without the halides on. My halides kick off in about 45 mins, so we'll see. I have a feeling it'll be a bit on the pink side. But that's why I left the 48" option in the middle for tweaking the colours. I bought the bulbs at Marine Aquaria. Those are the only 2 kinds of 60" bulbs so that's why I went with that colour combo. I wanted lights today. I'll get them to order some other colours too down the road so I can play around with it.
