- I am in the process of setting up a 70 gal. plant tank. The time
- has come to choose the lighting system and as of now I am favoring
- pendant style metal halides. I would like to know the best prices
- and locations found for 175W fixtures and bulbs. I will summarize
- the results.
-
- Also, at one time there was mention of these 'wonderlight' bulbs
- that fit into ordinary incandescent fixtures. I believe the
- preliminary results on these was somewhat positive. Can anyone with
- experience with the 'wonderlights' provide an update? Do these
- bulbs give the same effect as MH as far as shadowing, etc. from
- a 'point source'? Thanks.
