    Sounds fun, I'll be following for sure! I just finished my first build a little while ago myself and I loved it. You got the right idea too, take you and do it slow. I would go LEDs if I was you they may cost more at first but they pay off in the end, I love my AI Sol.

    I know they lowered the price by $100 about 1 month after I bought it... so i think a module is around $400. On your tank you would need 2 though, you can find package deals with the controller and mounts. Not cheap but compared to MH's you don't have replacement bulb costs, you won't need to buy a chiller, and you would probably have a lower electric bill. I'm happy with my Sol, but there are many brands of LEDs as well.
