Hey everyone, wanted some suggestions for some lights for my 55g tank. As of now I have a few soft corals, Xenia, polyps, finger leather, basic easy soft corals. I wanted to start on some SPS and LPS corals but I know that my lighting is not strong enough. I Want to get a few suggestions on some LEDs that you guys are using and have worked well for you. Keep in mind my price range for a single lighting unit is around $200, a total of $400 if I get two fixtures for the 55g tank. Thanks for the help ?

I'd suggest the taotronics LEDs. 2 will cover a 55. Make sure you get a dimmable unit so you can turn them down so you don't burn the coral you already have in your tank. LEDs penetrate water very well, much better than bulbed units.
