Boy Rp sounds like maybe you are getting in over your head here. Graybar Electric is a great source for any electrical component, BUT you have to know EXACTLY what you want. I am all for saving as much money as I can, but lighting is THE single most important part of our hobby. I'd say spend the money there, and use DIY to make a skimmer (TONS of plans avalable) or auto top off or Kalk/Ca reactor.

That would be my suggestion anyway.
