To give you an example, I purchased a 175 metal halide for our tank.
That was prior to researching what we wanted to keep in the long run.
I found that 175 wasn't sufficient for our needs and then bought a 250.
Again, not enough research. Now I have 400's.
If I had researched our long term desires, I would have bought 400's to begin with and saved the extra $600-$700 in bulbs, ballasts, and pendants that I have gone through.
Just give some thought to what you want to keep.
Without a job, you are better off saving more money and getting what will work for you. You will find that it costs more to continually upgrade than it would to get what you need from the start.
Just food for thought. ;)
