I think there is some confusion here.

Its a "Lumenmax 3" at 250w, not 3 x 250w. Don't buy the light. Not worth it.

Its $450 for the rest of the stuff. A 25gpd means it'll take you days just to fill up the tank - not worth the frustration. Not sure whether the test kits are out-of-date already.

Personally, if you actually want a 90g or 120g, none of this stuff will really be useful when you upgrade other than the refractometer & TDS meter.

I wouldn't get it. I'd look for a really good deal on a 90g or 120g. Buying something you won't be satisfied with for long when you know you're gonna upgrade is an expensive way to reef. Get what you actually want the first time instead of buying and buying again. Resale values drop markedly, especially since all of this equipment is several years old.
