Well i was thinking about setting up a 30 gallon cube i have laying around and well i found this http://www.hellolights.com/40methalretk.html It comes with a free bulb and i guess you can't beat that, but i'm thinking it may be to much light. Also how do you wire a magnetic mh ballast? I want a mostly sps nano.

ya thats way overkill for a 30 cube. You'd have to have it so high up off the tank that it'd light up the whole room lol. You'd get sunburned sitting on the couch :)
It comes with directions on how to wire it btw. At least there should be a diagram on the balast. It really isnt that hard, and i know nothing about electrical crap other than it uses electricity and wires lol. Its like building Lego's :)
