Is this just for 1 light? It's not a bad deal but there are probably better deals to be had.

You could probably keep some of the less light intense stonies higher in your tank with a 175 like Monti's. If you wanted to get serious about them I would go for 250w halides.

No problem! Keep in mind that if your a hand DIY'er, a DIY kit would be much easier on the wallet.
