I got a 75 gallon full setup a few months ago but the light fixture that came with it doesn't completely work. Only one light will come on which has been fine so far. However, I want to start creating a reef and know that I need actinic light for that. I took the fixture to my LFS and they said that only one of my night LEDs was working too. My tank is 48 inches and any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Need a new light and need help!

I think you should get the 48" Current Nova Extreme Pro lights. Those will allow you to keep anything you want (6 T5 bulbs with individual reflectors).

If those are too expensive, then check out Aquatraders - Wide selection of Aquarium Lightings including T5 HO, Power Compact, Metal Halide -- they have some cheaper metal halide systems.

Do you have a budget in mine?
In addition to the Nova Pros Biff linked too.These have better reflectors and bulbs.Whatever fixture you do decide on,individual reflectors and at least six bulbs will allow you to keep anything.

I am definitely on a budget, but do want something decent. I have bookmarked everything and will be saving my pennies. I have to replace my cleaner crew (thanks Mr. Picasso Triggerfish) and get everything in shape so I have a little time. After all, what fun is hurrying? Thanks for all of the help!
