29 gallon Biocube!

Thanks for showing that to me. I cant decide between blue or magenta so maybe the RGB is just what I'm looking for.
I asked and I was told 2 pro lights and 2 60 watt adapters over in the other thread. Does that sound right?
turns out Modular LED is located in Red deer (1.5 hours from here) so I may just go in for a visit.

also what is a MP-10 ES?

You will only need one 60W adapter, just get the 2-way splitter and you can run both. I would suggest getting the Dimmer Switch and use that with the 12K White/445nm Blue as they are REALLY bright. For the RGB, you will also need to get the RGB controller, it's really neat! It's the remote control that you can use up to 30 feet away.

I got mine from Martin at Modular also, super fast shipping!

The MP-10 ES is a controllable powerhead that has one side inside the tank, and the actual motor on the outside of the tank. It keeps the heat out of the tank.

I looked at the controller,
as for the adapters thats good I only need one that makes more sense. I was going to pick up a dimmer too. The powerhead is more than I paid for the whole tank LOL it's nice but a bit too funky for what I'm looking at spending.

The one thing that I have learned about this addiction is that the money you save up front on cheaper equipment can and will cost you a lot more when you will be upgrading it later. However, to each and everyone's own.

A cheaper and reliable alternative to the MP-10 is the following:
Tunze 6015 Turbelle Nanostream

I had 2 of these running in my tank. I'm an SPS junkie, so I wanted a lot of flow. One will probably suffice for what you may be looking for.

that's more what I'd be wanting.
you have a valid point however being new to the hobby I want to keep the spending "down" for the next few months until I can be sure I'm in it for the long haul. I mean I've spent hundreds and hundreds already but hundreds become thousands very quickly with very little return on investment if I decide it's not for me.
If I decide to upgrade? the 66 gallon RSM is going with it. Starter hobbyist with a starter set up.

I'd also recommend this to create a bit of irregular flow on the return pipe of the main pump inside the tank.

i do believe in the pay it forward thing so if you want to see how an mp10 would work in your tank i could LEND you the one from my wifes tank for a day or two to see if you like it before you go running out to spent that cash on one
