Buy the cheapest lights possible then send the leftover "bundle" my way!!!

I heard that 2 150W MH are just enough for a 55 if you don't want any restrictions on corals. I am buying 2 250's for my 55 so if I want to upgrade these lights will work on anything up to 100 gallons. This was a suggestion from Tangster. So if I were you I would go with 2 250w MH with a good reflector/ballast combo.
