as title.
i have had three different sets of halides on three diferent tanks in the last 18 years but i have always had tunze or guisemann complete systems.
i'm currently thinking of selling my two guisemanns 250watters and going for 400w lowbays as my tank is 6 foot tall and the look of them is no longer important.
can you (or anyone) give me a breakdown of exactly what i need to do this fron the website....i need to know what i need to buy to plug and play?
thanks

depends what you want wayne,If you just want plain low bays then i would go for the ones with remote ballast to reduce heat an weight,hanging kit,contactor(dual) to run your timer and a lentgh of flex and plug.
Personally if i had the money id go with coralvue electronic ballasts(2 0f),luminarc reflectors(se) or the coralvue sunlight replicators(de).You will still need flex to connect i think but not sure if you would need the contactors for electronic ballasts but i would think so.
If using reflectors your going to have to sort out a way to mount them above the tank in a deep hood or similar.
Plus you going to need Se lamps my personal preference would be the 400watt se 10k reeflux but thats just me.
