Lighting Suggestions

[irishstout]

I have a 55 gallon reef tank running on 1-URI Super Actinc R vho and 1-URI AquaSun vho. I have minimal corals going right now ( couple a Mushrooms, and StarBurst Polyps?) What is a "cost effective" next step I can take in lighting to allow me to upgrade the corals I can keep? Also, any suggestions on a compatible fish to go with the 1.5" Coral Beauty, and 5" Marine Betta I have chillin in the tank?? Responses appreciated.

what kind of ballist do you have? If it is an Icecap 660 add a third 50/50 bulb then add a forth atintic, and you'll have 440Watts thats light! It just depends how many bulbs your ballist can drive.

as far as the lighting goes 2 x 110 VHO is good enough for softies and few LPS
you may want to add PC or NO for dawn/dusk
as far as reef fish compatible with what you have
I would go with 1 Six Line (got to love those small active fish) and 1 Royal Gamma (or black cab basslet)
