Good news!
I came back to school from Thanksgiving at home and found my repaired light waiting for me downstairs at the neighbor's apartment since they were nice enough to take it out of the rain for me, and it looks great. If anyone was curious, Marineland has great customer service. They were helpful from the start (even though I was probably a little rude to them), they answered my questions all along the way, and quickly fixed my light and sent it back absolutely free. Five stars for them.

I have some issues with the Marineland filter that I have, but that's probably more my own issue since what I wanted was a canister but I had to settle for another HOB for financial reasons. I can't lie and say its a bad filter. The LED light I have from them is great for what it is, and it suits me just fine.
The only plant that didn't do so well was my ruffle plant, but I think I had some other things going on with it because it was fine for months with the leds before it took a sudden downturn.
My disappointing news (or rather, my puzzle to solve for the day), is that the cool fish tank stand I design and planned to build in December with my dad won't fit in my apartment. I have crazy angled ceilings and it'll be too tall with the tank on it to go anywhere reasonable, other than my bedroom, or where the tv currently is. I guess time to convince my girlfriend to let me put it there? I could make it shorter but I'd either have to lose the elbow room to get into my 10s, or lose the drawers which sucks because I was excited about finally having somewhere to put all my junk. :/

I scored a nice black stand for my 46gal bowfront for $25 today at the LFS! Apparently it was a trade-in thing and they just wanted it gone...so I obliged them! 
It's pretty much like this one, except it's black and the shelves are wood, not glass. http://www.aqueonproducts.com/assets/010/13544_400wh.jpg Now to measure it and see if it'll fit in my son's room....

So I went to my first "Fish Club" meeting tonight! I meet Ed from Ed's almost natural fish food, super nice guy! I scored a 60 watt 2 bulb 36 inch light for $11, a big java fern for $1 and the best deal for me......3 vail tail blushing Angels! (Fingers crossed that at least 2 of my 5 juvies pair up at some point!)
