Not sure why you type in capital letters with multiple question mark.. but it seems to me you have something against the lfs (netiqutte).

Maybe you ca be more specific in your question like PL, FL or MH? NA Nature has quite a few florescent lighting with releatively reasonable price. You can shop around other lfs in the lfs list (mentioned by Budak) if you feel the price could be better. That's what most of the members are doing.

If you do manage to find a better deal, please do share. Many will definately benefit from your findings.

oh no problem ... nahz nothing about the shop jus that i wanna find better lobangs for lights ... BUDGET constraint ... jus visit some FS jus now ... 36w PL lights with no e-ballast selling at $65 ... i think NATURE AQUARIUM is still the best and probably the only cheapest i think....

Do take note they must fall in the range of 6500K - 8000K...anything more than that will be more for marine or even algae. []

I was told...
mist=extra... haha

[hoppinghippo]

mist=smoke out then you won't realise you're spending unneccessarily! []

There is a device in the water that creates the mist. I was told that if fresh water, a lot of mist. So as the water ages, less mist.

Wonder if it cause any harm to the fishes....

aiyo with the mist how can light penetrate thru and reach the plants??

[sherchoo]

The mist making thingy works very nively for a terarium tank.... seen quite a few in lfs.

[tranquillizer]

the mist is only a bit ... as when it touches the water it start to disperse and within 2sec all are gone ... there are use to beautify the tank ... but so many fish shop specially open so that they think they will earn money following the luohan ... *gone case*

I've always found it freakily unnatural...
