cyano

I was looking at upgrading to a metal halide/t5 combo that I had found that was within my immediate price range but have decided (since the fixture I was looking at has reports of it catching fire) to try look at the possibility that maybe my current combination of bulbs could be replaced with a more optimal brand/combination.
