Needing a new light!!

[Shadechic23]

I purchases a 55 gallon tank the other day. Haven't gotten it completely setup yet
But tomorrow will be adding water an live sand.

I prob dont need a good light atm?? until my tank cycles and fish are put in it.

Wondering if u can give me a good ideal on a light.

I dont wanna pay to much for one. So any good ideals on where to get a good light for cheap???

I would really just get a light like this .. Then when the time came you wanted to put corals in just change the bulbs out to ATI and I think you would be all set for just about anything you wanted to throw in.. Being a shallower tank like a 55 you dont really need the individual reflectors.. :D

An wat is the best WATTS to get?

if you got that light you will need 4 54 watt bulbs.. If you call over they will give you a color combination that will suit what you are looking for...
