ok sggavin, if you change your mind the offer still stands. dont be shy, i bought the ballasts from someone getting out of the hobby for $10.00. i have 3 2x55 watt ballasts in my closet collecting dust and you seemed to need them more than i do.
you should be able to get a good variety of beginner corals with that lighting anyway. lets get through the cycle first. then the fun begins

lets see what your ammonia levels peak at before you stop adding the shrimp. if you stop too soon you might slow down the cycle.
