If you're stuck on getting two, then go for PFO mini HQI pendants. they are $120 each, plus ballast (you can get a dual ballast), plus bulbs.

I think the Lumenarc would be your cheapest route. Think of all the T5 bulbs you'll have to buy!

i MIGHT have an SPS or two, but it would most likely just be monti caps or digitata (which i have under my 150W sunpod). other than that i dont need too much light.

where can i find these Lumenarc reflectors and other stuff that you listed?

i might look at a 50 gallon breeder now (just measured out a 40G breeder and it seems a bit shallower than i thought, the 50 is only 2 inches taller though, so im not sure if my lighting choice would have to be altered too much.

thanks a lot for all this help everyone, im very appreciative of it!
