Why not go with the Finnex Fugeray-R?

It's cheaper than the light you are considering and will last a lot longer. Plus it has the red LEDs that are all the rage these days. I'm getting a new 10g in a week or two, and I've been evaluating my lighting options. However, if I decide to go with an open top, I'm definitely going with the Finnex rather than a brooder lamp with a cfl bulb. The only thing that will change my mind is if my local Petco has a $1/gallon sale starting this Sunday. In that case, I'll get a 10g kit for $10 and just replace the bulbs in the hood with cfls. Ultimately, I would upgrade the light and go open-top, but the initial savings is too much for me to pass up. The extra savings would allow me to buy other aquarium items that I'd really like to get.
