A bit of advice I've heard on the boards is go with some VHO lighting to start out. You can keep many of the less demanding corals and when you're ready to take on more challenging critters you can upgrade to the more intense metal halide lighting. Your VHO will provide some quality supplemental lighting after you upgrade.

I think I've read PC has a little more ouput but the bulbs are more expensive to replace. I've never used PC personally.
