Default Really cheap MH lighting setups

Hey do any of you know if these lights will grow corals? They are for indoor plant growth and extremely cheap can you check out this link and let me know what you think. They ship to Canada for $20 so it's totally worth it. http://www.elights.com/horlig.html

Don't see why they wouldn't work,as long as you get the MH and a differant bulb.You would also have to find out what type of ballast it has.Pulse,electronic,etc.Then match the bulb to ballast in the right spectrum.Also with it being a built in ballast,it will be tough to swap if it ever dies on you.But all in alll it should work.

You are prob looking at about $370-$385 Canadaian dollars to get it to your door when you include shipping, taxes and brokerage fee's ( depending on how they send it UPS or USPS). Then you also need a bulb, thats another $80 to $125. So you are looking at some where from $450 to $500. I am sure you can get something local for that price.
