55 gallon acrylic build

[gman42]

I bought a 55 gallin acrylic tank a while back, i buffed out the scratches and bought a stand. I stained the stand an now im stuck on lighting and what fish to add.
As of right now i have 6 electric yellows, and a synodontis euruptus ( dont remember how to spell it).
I was thinking on adding a male and 3 females auloncara stuartgranti mdoka orange from live fish direct. Does anyone have any opinions on adding those?
I was also thinking about getting some led's i just dont know what kind. Im thinking about spending no more than $120 Any thoughts on lighing options would be appreciated.

I got the aqueon modular LED for my 55 with colormax bulbs. Been very happy with it. Also had to get versa tops because it's just a light strip, not a hood.

I was looking at getting that.
Anyone else have opinions on lighting options and the fish?

Marineland led hoods, would need 2 12x24 for a 55. If you wanted a hood and light option.

I think im going to get the fugeray. Next i need to figure out the fish but i have a month or so to figure that out.

I just bought some buckets to help transfer water for switching tanks. The stand is stained and i plan on setting up the tank on sunday.
