    I have read something on this some time ago and if I remember correctly the spectrum of these lights were wrong for reef keeping. Don't remember for sure.

    but i can buy the set up and purchase an actual reef buld and still be saving.

    am i reading right? 150 for a 250W housing and balast with a 2700k bulb. just replace bulb with a 10k
