Lights for a 58 Gallon tank

[jmesmcm]

What type of lights should I get for my tank. It is a 58 gallon oceanic tank that measures 36"*18" and is 24" deep. I was thinking of getting metal halides with PCs but should they be a single or double halide? What wattage and what sort of bulbs. Want to be able to keep corals and inverts. Any input would be appreciated.

2 250w or 2 175w halides would do very well over that tank. You would not be limited by your light if you went with that setup. Not to mention, you would not need to upgrade later if you decide to keep more light demanding corals or clams.
The only thing tha limits you on your lights is your budget.
Good Luck
