Have you thought about going with LED lighting? Lower cost to run, no expensive bulbs, heat isn't an issue and you can have nems to sps if you want to....just a thought We switched to them a long time ago and have been very happy....in this hobby it seems like if you don't spend on everything from the start it will cost more down the road....

I thought led was extremely expensive with nem support. Ill gladly upgrade my 100 bucks worth of investments when I get serious and addicted. I'm not sure how long ill be having tons of fun with this hobby and I'm on a tight budget.......I just can't help but addict? Haha I wonder how cheap I can get this going :x about to give my brother my freshwater fish lol
