Default 10g Nano, Upgrade lighting?
Im currently checking out my options for upgrading my lighting. Im currently running 2 x 20w 50/50 PC. I have looked at a few options, and im not to keen on a retrofit kit for this tank (haven't ruled it out). I have looked at:

sunpods 70/150/250w MH all 20" wide
http://www.marineandreef.com/shoppro/metal_SunPod.htm

Current USA Orbit 80w PC
http://www.bigalsonline.com/edealinv...9&ctl_nbr=3684

In this 10g tank I currently have zoo's, green star polyps, various mushrooms, toadstool leather, fingerleather, and a RBTA w/percula clown. This system has been doin well for 2 1/2 years. I was just thinking the corals and RBTA might like some more light.
I'd also like to keep the cost below $200

The Current USA Orbit 80w PC is in US prices.
Double that if you look at the Canadian site.

Would be interested in one for my nano.

I bought this from ebay for my refugium. It seems to work very well. I have bought 2 lights from these guys and have received them both brand new in perfect condition. The only suck thing is that you do have to pay duty upon delivery.
