Wolffvet Astrea Snail Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Turnersville, TX Posts: 67 Karma: 101	Looking for new lights (5' MH and VHO) I have a 5' 100 gallon tank and would like to upgrade my lighting. I am currently running a 4' 4X65 PC fixture. I am thinking about purchasing a 5' MH and VHO retrofit kit to put in the canopy I am building. I have looked around but wanted to get other peoples opinion on what is my best bang for my buck. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of 2 175 watt 10K MH and 2 140 watt VHO super actinics. I just do not want to get stuck with something I am going to hate. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
