Default Who can help with my lighting dillemma?

Currently, I have a single bulb NO fluorescent strip light for my 55 gallon tank. The bulb is the standard 40 W. I have about $200 to upgrade my lighting with. Was thinking about going with compact fluorescents (saw a deal for 4 x 65 W with "moonlight" setup for $199.99), but wasn't sure if that would get me any further to getting some "softies" in my tank. Don't want anything extravengant yet as I've only had this first SW tank for about 6 months now. Don't think I could afford the MH or the VHO and don't have anyway/anywhere to "mount" them (don't have a canopy or even a true hood - just glass cover and can't hang lights where the tank is). Any body have suggestions or thoughts? Would the PC be enough for anything?


_________

55 gal glass tank, 2 power heads, wet/dry filter, protein skimmer, 50 lbs live rock, pair of tomato clowns, 1 royal gramma, 1 coral beauty angel, 1 six line wrasse, 1 peppermint shrimp, 1 skunk cleaner shrimp, 12 assorted snails (astrea/turbo), 15 assorted hermit crabs, green bubble tip anemone, red mushrooms, yellow polyps, 1 green leather, green star polyps, yellow toadstool
