Check Scott at www.aquariumspecialty.com he is a sponsor and a great guy. if you can get it for less ? But not with better support. As far as bulbs, I'd use the fauna marin or ati brands

FWIW

i had the 36" tx5 on my 50br and it was very nice....its bright
for the price...you would have to do your research on where is the cheapest around....you might even find a used one for sale...
then you gotta add 5 bulbs to that which is another $120 or so with shipping...

for bulbs...its a personal preference....but ATI bulbs have the highest par right now so that would be a good choice....but then you will have to do your research for what color bulbs will suit your tase....

check this thread for all the info you'll need

The actinics are on one switch, and the other bulbs on the other.
