    I just noticed the sale would be over before I can get it. But it is still about $50 Cheaper, and it might go on sale again.

    Today I bought 40 pounds of sand, and 4 pounds of lace rock; I now have 45 pounds of sand, and 65 pounds of rock. Now all I have to do is save up $700.
    My camera isn’t working right, so I will try to upload pics tomorrow

    Well I hope it will be stable. I’m using base rock, dry sand, and I will be using the water, and rock from my nano. So hopefully no die off. Think of it as dropping my nano in the 55 gal.;)

    I think this fixture would serve you better.
    http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5...t_Fixture_w!_Bulbs_(Black)_by_Sunlight_Supply

    You can pick any 8 bulbs that they carry. It costs $60 more but you get better eflectors and your choice of bulbs. If you were to buy the fixture in your link you would have to spend about another $160 on the bulbs that you want. Making the total cost of the fixture you chose $609. Making the tek-light a better buy.

    ATI and Giesemann are one of the best bulbs you can buy. The bulbs put out a lot of par and are good looking.
