See which you'd want.

They have a single 250 which would look nice as those HQI small low profile
lights.
Cheap too. You can get 250w iwasaki 6500K bulbs cheap.

The 100w would be neat for a small 2 ft long tank etc. Only 115$ for a nice
MH pendant.

There's other places that sell similar systems that sell hydroponics/indoor
gardening. Should be a number there in Canada that will sell a number of
different set ups.
