That coralife Fixture sells for $600 all by itself at J&L. I bought it for $1000 locally before I knew J&L existed.

If you are going to do the 33 gallon tank...my strong recommendation would be to put T5HO lighting above it. That way, you have the potential for enough light for almost any coral you want and in the long run, it's bulbs last longer and are much cheaper to replace. You'd pay off your investment pretty quickly.

I may get shot on here for saying this but here's a link to an Odyssea fixutre...not the best quality but not terrible either and it's CHEAP for beginners who very likely will change their equipment not too long after they first start.http://www.aquatraders.com/36-156w-h...advance-1.aspx
If I had known that I could buy an Odyssea fixture when I started for 1/4 what I paid for a "not much better" Coralife fixture then I would have more money now for the better equipment I want.

Again, that's just my 2 cents.

I am having issues with the Aquatraders website...When trying to go to the checkout it says that the certificate is expired and I am just wondering if anyone is having the same problem or if they have dealt with this company recently without issues. Just makes me nervous is all...Is there a place in or around Edmonton that I might be able to pick up that light?

I checked out the site and it's working fine for me. As for a 36" fixture with 4 HO T5 bulbs w/ moonlights I doubt you'll find brand new for that price but I could be wrong. Reason I say this is because I bought an 18" fixture with only 2 bulbs & no moonlights for $80 locally.
