OK I have to play devil's advocate (don't know why)

Based on the #s you gave earlier, you had
$285 for the corals
$45 for the livestock
$120 for the live rock ($6 a pound-- isn't that high?)
$25 for the sand.

OK, that is worth $475 to you ... but you are paying $50 for Xenia (I think that is way too much) $6 a pound for live rock, paying for another royal gramma and a sand sifting star fish.... and you don't get to pick and choose your livestock, it's all or nothing? Sorry it stilll seems high. Maybe see if he will part some of it out; then you can get just what you really want.

As far as the lights go-- since you are thinking about 500 watts of PCs-- why not just go for 2 x 250 metal halides?

You up for some DIY? Maybe build a canopy...
