Tank = $89.00
4 x 40W via 2 Home Depot setups w/ 6500K Phillips Daymax bulbs = $35.00
DIY Stand and hood = $30.00 in wood, if you go cheap.
I was refering to the lighting only though because their are more optoins. Also, they have 4x55W fixtures on ebay at 4' for less than $100.00. Although they come with 10,000k and Actnic you can always replace the bulbs later when you have more money.
That is the point I was making.
You should be looking for the 2x65W not the 1x65W. On a tank that deep you are going to need more than 2WPG.
