Hey,
This may be a very obvious question, but I will ask it anyway.
at the moment I have normal fluorescent lights. Kind of like this but for aquariums: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:En..._retouched.jpg

I was wondering if, because the fittings are the same, would I be able to but Metal Halide lamps like one of these in:

Thanks!

Hope you are kidding!
Dont! not that it will fit.

Unfortunately, you'll need to purchase either a new light strip, or a retrofit kit. The ballasts are completely different and you can't put MH bulbs into a NO flourescent light.

Thanks for the info, I think I will just wait for my new tank before getting better corals!
