A thread earlier today got me thinking about my old lighting setup over my 8’ 180g back in the early 2000s

Anyone running VHo still?

I ran four 250w SE halides and four 48” super actinic VHO.

I have recently switched back to halides on my 210g and now contemplating putting together a vho for supplemental

Icecap 660 or workhorse 7 ballast running 72” Vho actinic.

Bulbs are offered by champion lighting and can piece together the rest.
 
I used to run qty 2 175w ushio metal halides and 48" VHO Super Actinics. Man it was beautiful! Just setup a 53gal cube running qty 6, 24", 24w HO T5's. 3 10k and 3 460nm super blues. Nice crisp look. No windex.
