The ati fixture wouldn't be one of the fancy LED ones, but still around 750 with bulbs. The retro your describing is maybe $150, sounds like the way to go.


I use to have a 6 bulbs tek light, removed the 4 bulbs and reflector in the middle and cut a couple of holes for 2 kessils, nice and easy, also a bit cheaper as you already have a kessil... is easy to do as the 2 bulbs at both ends run with the same ballast ... that should be plenty for your tank
