With a tank that size I'd say get LEDs... For softies this would be fine: Reef Aquarium Lighting & LED Lights: Marineland Reef Capable LED Lighting System

Ouch. Alex that's more than I was wanting to spend on just this little tank.

I was thinking something like this, maybe two or three.

I found a 2 pack of 6500k cf bulbs at Lowes for $6.94 There 13 watt 75 equivelent. I have them in my 10 gallon and they are very bright.

You don't want a 6500k bulb on a saltwater tank...

What temperature lights would you recomend?

 

[Sir Alex]

Above 10,000k. Even if it's a fish only tank it's going to cause algae growth which is overall a bad thing.
