cheapest lighting online?

[salty420]

well im totally bummed because the lights that my lfs (or rather lf basement) were supposedly ordering for me on monday did not get ordered. apparently they are on back order for a couple weeks and i can't wait that long! so instead of paying the $500 i was going to be paying for my lights it looks like im looking at about double that i've been searching around all night but can't seem to find that super deal im looking for. does anyone have any secret source they know of where i can find the hood im looking for? im in the market for a 48" HQI T5 combo light. i need the 2x250w HQI with the 4x54w T5's. i am really not interested in a used light... im so upset i was so happy when i was going to be getting the lights for so cheap now im gonna go cry :cry:

[salty420]

The other thing you can check is RC's classifieds, I've seen some good deals on lightly used stuff there.

She stated she was not interested in used lights..

Anyway, that is obviously a good light.. what did it run you?

You all are such a bad influence! I never ever thought I'd be scouring the internet for deals on lighting and sitting here drooling over different levels of watts and lumens and HQI or T5 or 4 bulbs vs. 6 or thinking dang I wish I could spend $2500 on a light system! mg::rofl::hypnotized:

 

[Ace25]

$2500? Are you looking at Solaris lights or something?

:lipssealedsmilie: Geez... One thing, if anything, I have learned with Saltwater is patience. I am a very impulsive, impatient, person but with my tank. I try to take things one step at a time.
