    Hmm, those are 30" aren't they? I'd say you could do 2 BoostLed par 30's. I just ordered 3 for a 40 breeder (36"). Not sure how they are for SPS but I'm not looking for any SPS really. May one or two of the hardiest...

    Yeah LIGHTS are always the big money items...well not really, but they are way more necessary than other things.
