:help: I was informed that I do not have the proper lighting requirements for my reef tank. I have a fifty gallon with three 40 watt bulbs... I am now discusted with the " expert" that sold me the set up... I understand that I need to get a ballast along with other lights. Is it possible to get the majority of the equiptment from a Home Depot type place? I looked at there ballasts and they run about 20.00? But I did not know if I could get it there or if it is a true specialty item? When I was pricing the whole set up for VHO lighting via internet and local pet stores it is going to run about 600.00 dollars. If anyone could tell me how to go about doing it myself I would greatly apprecicate it!
