I bought a used 72" setup with 3 MH and two 130watt each actinics and moon lights. I had to replace all bulbs at start. The MH's are 175 watt which no one sells but finally found some on ebay. (but i was told 150 watt will work as well) hardley no one sells 130 watt power compacts either except Dr Foster and Smith, then after I got all new bulbs installed I found that the ballast that controls the actinic power compacts was out. this ballast had no markings at all on it to try to replace it. and you can not contact the manufactuer. I had to buy a used icecap 660 ballast to run them then that ballast fried in 3 months. I still have not replaced the icecap. then the switch that controls the MH's broke and the unit is smelling like it is burning. oh yeah several moon lights went out too.
Does anyone have a decent light at a decent price for a 180 gallon tank i prefer to stay away from the MH'S
Thanks Kenny
