    I have an odyssea t5 4 bulb light that's been going strong for over 3 years. The bulbs that come with it will be fine to get you through the cycle period, so start saving up for some good bulbs before you start adding corals. I used to be a MH guy, but I've since switched to all t5's. My next step may be led, but I don't know yet. My opinion is that MH's are really only needed for a deep tank (30"+). In a shallow tank like a 40, t5 is ALL you'll need.
