Do you ever plan on going reef (real corals)? If not, then just get a cheapo fixture from ebay.
Maybe later but not now. My main concern is the depth of my tank which is 31 inches. I need a light that will reach the bottom. I was thinking of getting 2 - 48 inch stips of led's...one white/blue for daytime, and one blue for night, but not sure what brand to go with. Would this work

I would edit the post. This site has a retail store and competitor links are frowned upon. I would not waste money on those lights.
Fish don't need bright lights so anything you go with will be fine.

Check that thread out and do a google search for the last fixture I posted.

I wouldn't go for that fixture. The optics are 120* and that would require you to hang the fixture pretty high to get even coverage. This would dramatically cut down on the par. Also, I don't think you would get more than 3 years out of the fixture, since there are no fans. LED's still produce heat and without fans the heat over time prematurely kills the LED's.
