Well, for your shameless suck up...some Karma!

And for lighting, check the sponsors here...

E-bay can be good if you know what exactly you are looking for and at.

you cant beat aquatraders.com a 48 in 220 watt pc for $69 new with bulbs. I have thier 48 in mh combo and it is awesome even came with ceiling mounts! My 36in aqua medic unit cost me over $650, and I like this better. Good luck!
