my 55 gal tank came with lights, but i was wondering if there was a good set of bulbs that will highlight my liverock and livestock. they are just pure white bulbs...any suggestions.....???

blue (actinic) lights tend to show off the colors of the fish better than a standard "white" bulb - go into the reef section of this forum - those guys know all about lights as it is essential for the health of their reef tanks.

is there a certain wattage that does better than others?

IMO If you are going to just use the standard Fluorescent lighting, 50/50 bulbs (half actinic, half daylight) would probably be best. But if you want to really see your lr flourish and maybe keep corals someday, I would upgrade the lighting to at least VHOs or PCs. Wattage is just the amount of power they consume. Generally the higher the watts, the brighter the light
