Looking to upgrade my crap PC's to some MH, I want some lunars with it and i want my stuff to really glow, just wondering what I can get for around 150-200$, I have a 29g,

I donno, even an icecap retro kit is 260$ for a 175w

go used? gotta think, a bulb is 60$ by itself, getting a ballast and even the loosest definition of a reflector for 100-140$ is difficult.

is this for everything bulb, reflector, and ballast i think you best bet is to try to find somthing used

Just remember the universal rule of thumb. "You get what you pay for". But that doesn't apply to used items. Here in the Bay Area everyone is all about CL, with club members and I thinking individuals should get 1/3 of what they paid for with their item. Some exceptions on deltec skimmer/bubblemasters etc... Go used just make sure it seems legit. Good luck

get a DIY MH setup.

The aquatraders fixtures are pretty cheap, lot of discussion about where they drive there bulbs, the 250 runs about like a 175, but we have a lot of satisfied club members using them
