Need PC lights or VHO fixture

[marmari]

Hi there - maybe someone has a solution for me; apparently my tank size is non-standard and they are not selling lights for my tank. It's a 55 gal. and 40" long. Am I going to have to replace the whole tank just so I can buy a PC fixture? Does anyone have any thoughts on a solution for this? I'd love to have PC lights and get a reef setup...but ever since my flourescent fixture burned out, I have been "in the dark" about it, literally! My budget is $200, and I'd love to get a good lighting for the tank, but I'm a bit confused about how to do the setup, since it's not in the local store and "ready to plug"...PLS HELP!!! I'm a girl and have no idea how to go about calculating all the watts, lumens, and other electrical mumbo-jumbo! Where's the superman who will save me?

Hi, I would seriously think of changing your thought process of settling for power compacts! You will have better success and be able to house more corals with T5's and halides in my opinion.
Salty Critter has a nice Aqua Medic (4) bulb 39watt T5 light fixture that would be ideal for your tank and it is in your price range!(36' Ocean Light)
It is literally plug and play and enjoy!!!
A mixture of 10000k and actinics is ideal for your desireable goal in recreating a reef biotope!
Good luck!
