Lights

[nate9]

i have been looking for some time now at lights for my 150g tank which for a while will only be live rock and some very non-needy inverts like feather dusters but later down the road i will probly like to have some corals.(not the very light needy sps or anything just some zoo's and stuff) i was wondering what you advice on how many watts i need or any certain brands or models of lights that you guys like. also

-i have found very cheap indoor garden lights with 1000w ballasts for a very good price but i know they dont come with the right kind of bulb so i looked and i cant seem to find a 1000w bulb anywhere that is the right kind so if anyone has seen one could you tell me.

-also could i just buy like a 400w bulb for that 1000w ballast and it would be ok or would it blow the bulb up?



Thanks for any help
