Thanks doco I'll check jamstigator's cab out in a second.

You can get cool tubes for under $100 in the US, Vortex fans for $100, but here in Canada we have no such luck. Well not that I can find, online and in real life.

If we order things from the states we get screwed on brokerage fees by UPS and sometimes on shipping too. It works out that you'll end up paying the same amount or more ordering from the US so I just try to avoid it now.

It's the same for computer gear as well. *sigh* ...

Well I just got home from the grow shop. I still need to make a trip to Home Depot later today, and also pick up some kitty litter and nylons. What I did get is a 250W HPS ballast, bulb and a bat wing reflector. Also a couple parts for the carbon filter but they didn't have 4-6" reducers so I have a 4-6" reducing pot instead. Apparently people are buying those for under a buck and cutting off the bottom. Sounds like it'll work to me and they threw in the pots free (they always throw you something cheap like that as if they're doing you a favour for spending $200! ha ha) so I'm out $zero if it doesn't work well. Time to get to work, I have pics of the cab at different stages so I'll try and post those later today. :jointsmile:
