If you look at my site (20G Minireef), you can see what that lighting looks like. My 20 is lit with two CSL retro kits, and one AHSupply 2x13W Brightlite kit. With just one 32W kit you can grow any softies you want. That is what I had on my 10 Gallon Nano, and it did just fine.

Yup. That's the right price for King Ed complete with ballast, smartlite 50/50 bulb, reflector, wiring nuts and switch. I got my Custom Sealife kits from there too.

I paid $119.99 at MOPS, and on top of that $3.95 shipping

I got the 96watt smart lite CSL retro kit from Eric for $135, then when I decided two weeks later to upgrade to an enclosed twin MH/twn NO Actinic unit he gave me $125 credit for the retro kits, he sold them as used for $125 a half an hour after I brought them in.
King Ed is with out a doubt the cheapest place to get stuff, Eric is the big guy, gruff voice and bad teeth, BUT he knows his stuff, I've been dealing with him for years and he has yet to steer me wrong.

Mike, I know you can get also a 10k and an actinic lamp from Custom Sea Life for that kit. There are probably other manufacturers and color temps as well. Yes, the kit comes with the bulb, ballast (w/ switch and plug), endcaps, and a reflector as well. The price at King Ed Pets is no longer $135. That was an introductory price. The current price is either $159 or $169. King Ed Pets does not have a web page that I'm aware of.

King Ed doesn't have a web site, the price is $159 now, it is still a bargain.
