I bought Chris Goetz's frag tank, and I was looking for lighting for it. I would like to go with a 400w MH setup, and I was just wondering where the best place to pick a setup that works well and looks half decent. I would like to spend the least possible, and don't want to go over $300. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any input!

what size tank? I have a pair of 400w ballats I am not going to be using pretty quick here. I also have a luminarc 3 reflector that I hung over my frag tank.

That lumenarc would work great!
High light in the middle and less on the ends for softies...

I'd be intereted in the lumenarc if Grant passes.

Have some Pfo options single/multiple feet hoods. Also have a Aqua medic 400w single hood. Pfo 400 hqi single hoods. If you decide you want/need to spend a little more $$$.
Pfo retro's will be in your budget but you will need to build a box to make it look nice.

Thanks Dirk, I for sure don't want to spend any more than $300 since I am trying to concentrate on the 210, since I still need to buy many parts for that. What are some other good options that there are for cheap?

How much for the pfo single hood, and do you have a link to what it looks like? Thanks

Marine Depot or Premium has the size, cost and options available. Best to look there first to see what you might like. Same price plus tax
