    2 Maxspect Celestial spotlights, 20 or 27 inch Maxspect Razor, Reefbreeders, and DIY are all good choices

    Thanks again for all the suggestions, I ended up fixing my light and ordering 4 new ATI bulbs from Reef Central. I got 1 coral+ , 1aquablue, and 2 blue plus. I figure I can get 6 to 8 months with these bulbs and that gives me plenty of time to upgrade. Im thinking of maybe a larger tank as well so this buys me a little time to way my options.

    +1 for what Marshall O said. I upgraded from a T5 to a Kessil A350W for my 20 gallon and my corals are loving it. It's nice being able to individually control the whites and blues even though I have to do it manually. Kessil's are nice, people seem to be loving reefbreeders on this forum, reefradiance is another good one, and if you really want to fork over the money you can look at Aqua Illumination's Sol, Vega, Hydra, or Hydra 52 as well as Ecotech's Radion. All depends on what your willing to spend i guess :)
