It will be more then enough, Until a couple of months ago I was using the Tek 4x54 4 foot unit in my 5 foot 125ish g with plenty of sps frags and colonies and they are all growing.

I can't believe that everyday I look at this stuff, the budget needs to get bumped up and yet I want the aquarium even more

To think, when I first approached someone at BigAl's they said my starup cost would be $1000!!!


"Just curious where do you buy your photography equipment at a good price?"

B&H Photo or Adorama are the best places and very very trustworthy. In the photography equipment business, there are lots of "bait and switch" tactics used by non-reputable dealers. You won't find any place with a price that's more than 5-10% lower than the mentioned 2 stores. Adorama's prices are slightly cheaper than B&H photo but shipping is slightly more so basically works out to the same. Prices almost always works out to be cheaper than buying from Canadian Retailers (except a few newer items where they set the Canadian price when the Canadian dollar was roughly on par with USD). The downside is that you don't have warranty.

Okay, so I'm talking to someone about a 6 bulb fixture.

One thing that is kind of strange is that he is including the following 6 bulbs that he has been using:

Giesemann 2 pure actinic and 4 actinic+

No 10,000 or 12,000K bulbs! Is this a problem?
