what lighting should I get

[jslaney]

Funnily enough I am in the exact same situation.

What I have decided to do is partially because I had some existing equipment and the fact that I am cheap.

Single Coralife Compact floresent in the front with a single clip on metal halide on the back.

The Compact floresent could easily be converted or replaced with T5s which seem to be in favour at the moment.

The metal halide is essential due to the really cool mottled lighting effect it gives you.

That being said I will not be having an sps dominated tank. Maybe just a few higher up near the metal halide.

Interested in other peoples ideas.
