what more, even if i get two pendant with 10000K 150W MH, its still cost me less than 1K. i think for the rest of the 3.5K, i can get lotsa and lotsa of FL and hood

did i say duo? i just mentioned that a single 'no brand' pendant with a 150W just cost me ard 300. its work as good as what duplas had or even other branded names around. unless i got lotsa and lotsa of money and no where to spend, probably will think of that. that is also one of the reason why alot of people are interested in setting up a marine aquarium in their living room, but once heard about the cost involve, they already back off. this already setting them off in their mindset. just imagine a calcium reactor from duplas can cost as high as 500+. and i myself is a diy person, looking at it is like a few pvc pipes connect together not even cost that 100. i maybe wrong, but i can just pay for the initial cost to get any branded calcium reactor and break it up to see how things can be economic when i can make it the same way the device should work that way. so back to the lighting, if i can get a pendant that look as good as duplas pendant, and work as good as a duplas, why should i pay for a duplas. just imagine when you go to your friend's house and saw a marine fully setup, you may ask the price of the setup. 'wow so expensive, are you sure? i setup a marine tank that just exactly like yours for half a price.' how should you feel about that, and probably you will ask if how to make it that half the price thingie. rather than someone asking you back where did you get it. its a obvious reason, a LV is expensive whereas a Brun or Goldlion will be cheaper, but still serve as the purpose of a wallet or a bag. our main achivement here is to make things more affordable, to post our valuable experiences and resources. if i can afford to buy for a light that cost more than 5K, why am i still here, might as well save all my trouble and go for a famous brand and let them do the rest. i can just sit back relax and watch.

wow, i got my pendant type of MH for about 300 with 10000K, 150W. Looks like those Duplas type of pendant....

what is LR?

many thanks tanzy. but back to the question: usu marine uses what type of light? e.g. warm white, daylight etc. and: As you guys are more experiences in diy and all sources for getting the materials to get thing started, may i know where to get those material for MH. E.g company name etc. thanks in advance

hi there, im new in marine and wish to start one from scratch. i saw this thread pretty interesting and found out that its rather cheap to get from those lighting company and diy it. but im quite confuse with some of the term like, warm white, daylight white etc, anyone here can advice on which type of light for the marine or even planted tank. i also know that there is one so called night light, which is a blue color tube right? Where to get those. As you guys are more experiences in diy and all sources for getting the materials to get thing started, may i know where to get those material for MH. E.g company name etc. One more last question, what is the different between HQI and AQI, notice got 2 type of MH. Any kind soul like to enlighten? Many thanks in advance.
