    FWIW, you'll spend less in the long run by saving up for good lighting for your first purchase. For T5HO, a 4ft unit will work. For higher-light corals and clams, you'll need 4 bulbs, or a 2-bulb/MH combo. For the cost of a good unit though, you can have decent LED lighting, such as the Evergrow fixtures that were already mentioned.
