Need Help, Lighting with a Budget

I need to replace my lighting on my 75g tank, 48x18x20. I would really like to stay below $200(rather my wife would really like to keep me below that) and don't mind putting a retro kit together. MH or T5 just need better then I have and the best I can make on this budget. Any help with links would be great.

 

what do you have right now?

Right now I have 2 48" shop lights with 3x10,000k bulbs and 1 acentic, more corals seem happy but the aglea battles tell me other wise.

 

Another question I have, If i were to go with a MH setup, do i need T5's or VHO's to accompany it and would I only need one on a 48"?

 

One of these would be good, but two would make your choices nearly limitless!! And it's COMPLETELY within your budget:

48" 216W (4-54 watt) Quad T5 Fluorescent Light Fixture (W/B) - 506051

Your 75 gal is 48" long right?

 

And if you HAD to see a pic of what that might look like, this is basically the same thing:

48" 216W (4-54 watt) Quad T6 Fluorescent Light Fixture (W/B) - 506041

 

could always try an electic eel in a bowl above the tank. i hear it works good for lighting up christmas trees.

 

Brandon, I have that one and I love it!
