your lfs can probably get them but may have to order them anyway, i am in the same boat you are i just got the mh 785watts for my 150gal. that way i can get what i want as my taste and expierience change i'm ready for it. you need to know what you want some corals (not many do not need any special light) pc's as a bare min. i think the next stronger one's are vho's then t-5's then mh the basic rule of thumb i believe is 4 watts per gal. but like you i am totally new to the coral scene i have my lights but still waiting for a hi-volume ph hopefully next week-end all equipment will be in place and i can start with some of the easier corals good luck to you tobin :happyfish
