    so i went to my LFS today *gasp! yes it's true i finally have a lfs that i will be going to* and i asked a few questions. I asked about lighting and they said to use the T5 series double liner strip, any opinions on this light system? They had it setup on their tanks. I also asked about ther ro/di units, and they said that they sell water for .36 cents a gallon and the water would be all set to go to put in the tank and i shouldn't have to cycle the water cause the parameters are all set. So that's exciting.

    but i did more research and i am 99% that i will be getting the 36" 6x39 Tek Light T5 highe-output fixture w/bulbs and i also read that even with the ro/di water from the store that i still have to cycle the tank for the 6 weeks
