Hey Everyone, I think for my purposes that the best route would be for me to use VHOs for my 55 gallon. I am looking at going for a reef and am looking mostly at soft corals and SPSs (maybe?). Since I am an electrical engineer, I figured that I can conquer a DIY lighting project fairly easily. Any suggestions on Electronic Ballast Kits for VHO lighting?

Thanks, any tips if you have done a DIY lighting project would also be greatly appreciated!

Also, I figured, with the tank being 48", I will need 4 bulbs (2 for each 24" of tank). I figured that 2 - 24" URI Aquasun VHO 75W Bulbs and 2 - 24" URI 75W Actinic White 50-50 VHOs would do the trick. Any other suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
