Looking to start a reef aquarium

Welcome, Rumika!

A good friend of mine sells lighting and gets things at wholesale. At any rate, this is one of his LED products, and he seems to think it would be smashing on an aquarium. I could get it for $1100 including all electrical/wiring necessary. Is this an alternative?

Anyway, not trying to hijack your thread here! I think the Solaris looks amazing, but it's $@!@%# expensive!

I doubt this would work, but if it doesn't............. You'll have a nice energy efficient light to hang over your desk.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. I am interested in the LED's so we might have to talk a little more seriously about your offer. Would your friend mind oredering one for me? Most of you have probably had your tanks for quite awhile but do the MH increase your power bill? With the price of power nowadays this is also something to consider!!!

They can increase your power bill, but in comparision to the cost of the LED fixtures its not worth it unless you have a large tank using 3 400w MHs.

That would be great if you could do that. Your friend wouldn't mind ordering one for me? I will be sure to let you know!!! Thank you.
