need a new light for my newly purchased 54 gallon corner bowfront tank

i am not planning any corals or anything crazy

 

saw this on ebay -

 

30" - Coralife T5 Saltwater Fixture -  36 Watt

One 18 Watt 10,000K Daylight - T5 Bulb
One 18 Watt True Actinic 03 - T5 Bulb

 

 

Please advise if this is ok, as it's very cheap (for new)

If so, I'll buy it right away

It will be fine for a fish only tank or perhaps a few low light demanding coral but I believe in the long run you will not be happy with this light and will want to upgrade.

Thank you spanko.

 

Btw, I just realized that there are different W bulbs available

Do people just upgrade let's say from 18w to 31w?

No the ballasts are specific to a certain bulb.
