If you are going to buy off ebay buy something with guts:
http://cgi.ebay.com/48-Metal-Halide-...item2a05be8fc6 Thats a prety sweet light. here is a nother one that is better than what you posted. http://cgi.ebay.com/48-4-ft-Metal-Ha...item19bb047f2c the better ones cost a bit more but they are worth it. and if you just wanted T5's try this. http://cgi.ebay.com/48-NovaExtreme-P...item414e16a502 Bill

"The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has been forgotten."
Other than a skimmer lighting is the one thing that you should buy as high quality as possible right from the start.

I would recommend figuring out what you want and then come one here and post "I am looking for...". You'll be surprised what you'll find or get. I did the same and got a beatiful coralife MH for cheap (less that what I would have paid for the T5 set up I was planning on).

also, knowing what i want depends on the cost also for now LOL. i don't plan on skimping out on my fish tank it's just that i don't have all this money to blow at once so i'm gonna settle for things that will last me a bit until i can save up and upgrade. At the same time, i don't wanna buy something that down the line i will just end up replacing the whole unit because it's not good enough. i have done a bit of reading on reviews and i haven't came cross anything negative yet on ebay lighting. has anyone ever had a problem with them?
