lights for a 30 gallon aquarium?

If you're serious, then get a serious light. If you just want to fart around, then get a light with only 2 bulbs in it. Personally, I'd go with AT LEAST 6 bulbs.

I have (6) 24w bulbs over a 30Tall and I wish I had 8 bulbs.

Depends on what you want to do with the tank. Decide what kind of corals you like. Do you like lower light zoas, polyps, mushrooms and LPS? Or do you want to grow SPS and clams?

Here's a retrofit with a mogul base 175w MH and a couple 39w T5's:
Catalina Aquarium 2 X 175W HID WITH 2 X 39W T5 HIGH OUTPUT RETRO

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THAT would grow all the SPS and clams you can shove in the tank!!!

THIS will require sunglasses for viewing:
