Like the title says I am looking for some lighting for my 180 that won't break the bank. I am open to all types, retros, fixtures ( preferably 60" unless a 72 inch fixture is less than 72 inches :)....my canopy has about 71.5 inches end to end so unless it is a 60 inch, retros may be better. would prefer either t5's or halides, unless you have an led setup I just can't pass up.
So before I order new, I wanted to check here first.
Anyway let me know what you got and prices please including shipping to 28530
 
Ended upon going with 3 x 250 watt halides (reeflux bulbs) 20k with lumen bright reflectors. I know too much light for just softies but you never know when I may need more ;). I think when it comes time to change out the bulbs in a year or so I may switch to DIY LEDs
