Hey, I am moving to college in about 5 days and have gotten an
aparment with my friend and am bringing my aquariums with me, actually
im selling my 55 to a friend for use as a terrium but i am aquariung a
brand new All-Glass 55g set up with pine stand and top/lights for only
159.99... I couldnt resist that deal from the Local LFS that will be
only 1 block away from my new aparment! - (that could be a bad
thing... lol) But I have been planning this aquarium for a while now
and here is what I am plannig for it

All Glass 55g on pine Cabnet Stand

Going to buy 110W (2x55W) retrofit kit from AH Supply


You can buy a shoplight at FleetFarm for $10 bucks that will take 4 T4s
or T8s. Bulbs are seriously cheaper and work very well. Even has a
cord on it.


The AH Supply 110 watt light will give you more usable light in the
tank than a 4 bulb shop light will. I have had both and there is way
more light with the AH Supply setup due to reflector. Shop lights
don't have reflectors they have diffusers so they can light up the
shop.

Semper Fi!
