philolsen · 09-16-2006, 01:25 AM

I have a 55 gal fish only, I am looking for a decent fixture and want to know which type is good. 1 bulb, 2 bulbs, 4 bulbs with led moonlight and what type of bulb/s are the best? I can not afford halide and want to spend about 100.00. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The tank has a amiracle sump, 11 watt UV, and a ramora skimmer. there are 4 fish, a Huma Huma trigger, a yellow tang, a 3 striped damsel and a yellow tail damsel and has been running for about 14 months. Currently I have 1 48" tube with a 12,000K bulb.

Thanks.

It's all in preference for you. If it really is a FO tank then there are no worries on what you need really. Do you have a canopy ? If so, I would probally just go buy 1 double tube fixture from Home Depot and buy to bulbs from your LFS and call it a day. I think for $100 you are going to be pretty hard pressed to find something 48" at that price. Good Luck.
