I went with the retro fit kit because the original kit only comes with a 13 watt bulb. Barely enough for just low light plants. Refitted it with a 32 watt and that still may only be good enough for low to moderate light plants.
Don't skip the cycling. I went with pure ammonia because I had no luck finding Biospira but I didn't mind. I felt like a scientist with my medicine dropper and test strips.
Glad I'm almost done because my kitten chewed the rubber off my medicine dropper today.
