Lighting for a 75 gal

[nordkapp]

I managed to convince my wife about upgrading our 29 gal to a 75 gal, it took me a while but I won this battle ;-)
I'm on the market for a good lighting system that will allow me to keep a bta and some clams, would 6x54 watt of T5 work or I have to go MH?

T5's would work.

what is your price range
IMO once the coral bug bites you will want, MH,T5s and moon lights

 

[nordkapp]

would like to stay within 500 bucks

6 t5's would do most any coral I have 5 and a reefbrite led and have clams sps,lps and an anemone that huge have since moved clam and some sps near the sand
