Im thinking of getting a Formosa or Formosa deluxe. Since I have no canopy presently, any opinions on these lights? Or any suggestions on better ones?.

I have and like the formosa. Bulbs arent high priced if you take into consideration that they last 13 months. ($100 / year) They do an excellent job too!
I dropped my unit in the tank once, and they replaced the ballast free of charge.
fuglyfish,
If you want to find a dealer for JBJ products, just go to their website ( <a href="http://www.jbjlighting.com" target="_blank">www.jbjlighting.com</a> ) and you can get a list of authorized retailers in your area.

I found a place on the web where I can get the 48" Formosa deluxe 4x65 system for $375 what else can I get for that price comparably.

I once had the Formosa with 4 /55 watt bulbs. I had nothing but problems with it. I love the colors but the circuit was bad from the biginning.
I gave it away and went to IceCap VHO
