Metal Halides?

[meemmoo]

I have a 55g column tank and want to get the right lights for soft and hard corals. How much Watt should I get? I am looking at the Coralife Aqualight Pro/Aqualight Advanced HQI 24'' cause I want the moonlights and that is the only one I see that had moons and actinics and halides in one. Any suggestions?

build your own. Not much to it. I built my canopy with MH lights all for under $120. Then just add the moonlights and actinics, which is what I'm about to do.
