i HIGHLY reccomend ebay. i know you can get a 48" fixture thats like 700sum odd watts. last time i checked, it was $200-300. just type in metal hallide or whatever kind u want. i got a 130 watt PC fixture on there for $80, and it was the best inverstment ive made for my tank.

i have seen some nice prices on EBAY but i m worried that the product is going to give me trouble on a year or 2

my 130 watt PC works great. i only have caulerpa and a condy anemone, but they have more than enough light. it is very effective.
