That's one hell of a deal for a retrofit kit! Nice work!
I thought about getting a few of those to put in my old fixtures, but the plastic housing is so damn flimsy on those things. Speaking of which, I recently sold one of my Coralife fixtures, and transferred the majority of my plants into my 10 gal. I ended up placing an Actinic bulb in the remaining fixture and it really makes the tank look awesome. I do miss having it heavily planted, but I also got tired of them being uprooted by the Pleco.
Props to IA Chiefs Fan, too! That is a beautiful tank! It's a shame your kids lost interest.
My 3 y/o is infatuated w/ "Nemo", so naturally, he has his nose pressed against the glass a lot.
Hopefully he'll stay interested in fish, but I doubt he will after we get our puppy this summer.
