Default metal halide VHO setup

What would be the cheapest method of getting a dual Metal Halide dual VHO setup?

http://www.3reef.com/uploads/reefmanMC.jpg&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.

Yup, Dave is right. We DIY our hood and got a retro set-up for around $700, MH and NO Actinics, and a factory job would have been $1,200 - $1,300. More money to spend on other stuff!
