If it has been said once it will be said a million times Canreef rocks! I have not been doing this hobby for very long either and it has been my experence that yes the stores care more about selling then helping. I am amazed that they did not try sell you the biggest metal halide system on the market. Talking to people that are not trying to sell you something is the best and read lots. I too have quit asking question at the stores when I go to buy something I dont want to get taken for a ride....again.
