if you plan on doing sps then i would save a tad longer and make your own led setup. mojo love designing them and depending on where you are, alot of us like to help build where we can.

You will need a 4 bulb HO T5 fixture if you want keep SPS in a 30G. I agree with saving more money for a stronger longer lasting LED fixture. A four bulb T-5 fixture will cost you over $100 every nine months in bulb replacement.

Glad to help. I recently upgraded from a 30G (SPS) with T-5s. I am soooo happy with my new LED fixture.
