Retro-fit Kits
I am going to be starting up a 30L soon so I am trying to get an idea about lighting. I want to do a MH set up with 2 actinic PC's, an dI was looking online and found a Captive Sun kit for about $350. Is Captive sun a reliable brand and is that a price I should look at or are there any cheaper that anyone knows abuot. Thanks for the help!

* Electronic power compact ballast
* Quick-disconnect plugs between fixture and ballast for easy assembly and maintenance
Note:
* 36" MH + PC fixtures and retrofits are configured with 2 x 55 Watt Power Compact bulbs.
* Includes 175W 5,500K Metal Halide bulb (Upgrades Available) and two 55W actinic PC bulbs

I like my XM 10k, Salt'n'lime gets some awesome color from Ushios, I have heard and seen some great pics of the Reeflux lit tanks but remember lighting is only a small part. Nutrient export, circulation and stability are important too. Even moreso if you are planning on keeping SPS.
I haven't fired up my 14k Phoenix (DE) yet. How did you like yours Drew?
