If you are good with your hands and know a little about electricity then go with a couple of these: 400 Watt Metal Halide Unassembled Ballast + Mogul Socket - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store $109 a piece and you can hook them up to multiple voltages. If wired up to 240v you will save on your kw per hr from the power company. Just my $.02
DIY's are a lot cheaper
