How to Make Money With Your Saltwater (Marine) Aquarium

Lights are easy to make as well. Some people are hesitant to work with "electrical stuff" because of the fear of getting electrocuted or starting an electrical fire, but the wiring diagrams are easy to follow and almost fool proof. A quick note, here: Don't buy "cheap" electronic components. There are good buys on name brand equipment that will last a long time. The stuff you buy from "fly by night electronics recyclers" undoubtedly doesn't come with a guarantee, and may not even work once you get it home. There is a full array of lighting parts and accessories made by top brand name manufacturers such as IceCap, Triton and Coralife, and many others to buy all the parts you need to assemble your own lighting fixtures. By buying through a reputable dealer you can expect to pay less than $400.00 for a 4 bulb set up for a tank, if you spend the hour to assemble the parts. Compare that to what you would have to pay to buy a set up already assembled. If you use a couple of Visi-Lux electronic ballasts instead of the IceCaps, you can save about $30.00 - $40.00 per setup. You might want to consider using PC DIY Kits, MH Retrofit Kits or other types of retrofit kits to save some money as well. There are a large number of lighting choices and hood designs to choose from, but you can easily build and save another $20.00 per tank by making them yourself.
