Got my first buy for the new tank (pics added)

hi all
well its been so great on this site, everyone so welcoming to me. Its just so nice and you all are so friendly!!!

Well i got my first buy for my first marine reef tank today
I brought lighting. I know that its not normally the first thing that you buy when starting up a reef tank but it was cheap and i could nt let it go.

Well anyway i brought
2 x 250W 20K metal halides with 2 x 30W actanic (how ever you spell it )
i got it for $300 australian dollars, which is like $220 US dollars
so i thoguht it was a very good buy. Its brand new never been used and came with bulbs everything.

So i have saved a bit of money on this.

Now my pics have come out big, so i need help to make them small as i have no idea how to do it LOL.
Anyway just thoguht i would keep you posted and up to date with it all. Plus i no you love pics
(but these pics are of my light only LOL as i ahve nothing else except my 180gallon discus tank lol)
cheers
