F&S catalog their is a retrofit kit from SMARTPAQ? it's 32 watts of CF lighting (10000k/actinic 460nm) it's $54.99 will this be sufficient lighting for the zoas i plan to keep? are their any other options out their that are less than $100? please give me your $.02 as i want to set my tank up soon but i need all the equipment first. thanks.

I'm pretty sure that 32 watts over a 5 gallon tank is more that enough.
You may have some overheating issues.

It should work, just change the bulbs OFTEN (about every 6 months)
