Yep I know I do it with my 150 right now and my water bill is not that bad, I have a tendency to over filter my tanks which cuts down thw water changes and i am also getting a pinpoint system. Once I get everything up and going I am going to post it in pictures, everything is coming from Greatlakes Aquariums

I ahve seen marine land lights on web for cheap sometimes (I wish I had the websites) the only draw back is I have been through at least 4 sets becuase they corrode and I do not care for them.

I wouldn't do the marineland. Because they are highly priced cheap construction I loke the ecoexotic. Taotronics and realy like the kessle pendants.

The kessles are awsome for lighting out large tanks. Costly but the 150watt is a nice one led pendant.   Definatly worth looking into. Also the fish dr of trenton has all the ecoexotic. Set ups. Fair priced.  Even beter if you know him well the kessle get up to 350watt if I remember correctly
