After researching lights and deciding on a possible DIY (yeah right!) light set and then having to make a canopy (double LOL yeah right!), I ended up ordering one of these... http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=12772&Ntt=nova&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1

I got the 4X54w set up with legs, moonlights and bulbs (same colors as are on my tank now). Wohoo! While I ordered, I also picked up a refractometer (yes, you shamed me into it!) and picked up free shipping on the rest of my order (bucket o salt, ocean nutrition foods, some more carbon/phos remover, etc)

Ted & Steve, I'm blaming both of you for the purchase. I now have to have enough light to keep the birds nest and pocillopora alive. By the way, can anyone induct me into the $20 club, LOL!

See you all in a few weeks :)

John,

I think you will be happy with these lights. I have the 24" (4X24 watt) and 36" (4X39 watt) Nova Extreme T-5 lights on my 92 gallon corner. Everything is growing great and the frags that Steve and Ted gave me at Steve's house seem to be responding well even though then went from a MH lighting environment to T-5's.
