Looks pretty good to me although I've never really researched Catalina lighting.

Kk, im thinking of getting this lighting once I get enuf money. Can someone help me on what to choose with it...It says you have the option of:

Bulbs are included - you may chose the type you would like- actinic blue, 10k white, 50.50 - half blue half white, or 6500 k plant growth bulbs: Please specify the type of bulbs you would like in your payment.

Which one would you choose? Also, theres an option of adding 2 fans and moon lights. If you were to buy it, would you choose the fans?

If the room the tank is in is air conditioned, then no I wouldnt bother with the fans/lights, if the room is NOT air conditioned then yes, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. I'd get two 50/50 bulbs

I would get fans if I were you. The bulbs I would choose would be either 2 10000k and 2 actinic, or two 50/50 like Ski said. With 50/50 you get a very pleasing and beautiful "sunset" look to the tank. With the 10000k/actinic you get a blillant whitish blue look. Which is great, but not the most natural.
