First off, let me say thanks for the reply. But make no mistake; Iā??m not an idiot by a long shoot. I have read enough to make my ears bleed, not just on this particular message board. I honestly would have no problem mixing different parts, and I honestly think Iā??ve already answered that question for my self. I'm just looking for an experienced suggestion, as to which inexpensive brand that will give me the best "bang for my buck!" and not clog my air stone.

Thanks for the CFL tip though... I'm definitely going to look into it! But I think Iā??ve found a deal I canā??t beat on a 400 Watt HPS so TO HELL WITH THE LIGHT BILL, LMAO!
