Im getting my tank set up, 60x18x24(LxWXH) and its going to be heavily planted along with a few pieces of driftwood and rocks in various formations. I was considering getting http://www.marinedepot.com/60_Inch_...Sunlight_Supply_Inc-SL2123-FILTFIT5SI-vi.html for my lighting. Thats 3wpg+ ....with that kind of lighting, what sort of nutrients would be needed to keep it balanced. Would any of the flourish line work, excel and such? Any help or suggestions will be appreciated

Never used them. Do you have a hood to use the retro kit on? If so then that could save you some cash but you will need to find out if they will swap bulbs for you. The kit comes with saltwater bulbs, (10,000 k and an actinic) and you want 2 6700k bulbs.

Lots of people use the retro kits to mount under large wooden hoods. They work great for that and it keeps the light from escaping into the room and blinding you.
