If money is a problem check out aquatraders.com, about as cheap as you are going to get, but the quality isn't as good, I had the 4x55w pc for two years and never had any problems though. Plus you get free bulbs and replacement bulbs are cheap.

yea money was a problem thats kind of why like i started with that set up but im trying to upgrade evrything now and now im just trying to go with the best regardless of the cost what do you think of a refugium in my sump? im trying to go with a diffrent type filtration
