Im not sure i follow?

it means that it's common sense to go to home improvement stores to look up items that the specialty stores sell at jacked up prices. a lot of time people just overlook other alternatives. for example the light you see at the pet stores, like you said, is a scam. Also you can find the timer in Home depot at fraction of the cost.

That's where I get all my lighting now, I don't even know how much money I have saved by doing DIY from Lowes/Home Depot. I made the light for my 55 gallon for $60 and I have amazing plant growth with only 4 23 watt 6500k CFLs.

It's not super sexy but it works!

I actually like the lighting setup you have going...looks cool&beats paying a couple hundred or even more when it comes to buying the so called correct lighting from lfs's by a long shot..like the ingenuity..

Yeah. I also think that his setup is a little more sexy than he gives himself credit for.
