What is more important?

[skipper]

I am slowly turning my 55 into a reef. I have all the fish I want for it and now its time for lighting and rock. I have 60# base rock from hirocks.com and 10# lr (which doesnt look very alive anymore). Currently I have got (2) 15 watt NO, but looking to get (4) 65 watts PC. What should I purchese first? More lr from lr.com or the lighting? TIA

I have 265 watts on a 55 and it's not enough.
You need more light BADLY !

LIGHTS!! for sure. I have a 55 gallon as well with the standard two 15 watt lights. I ordered a 6x54watt T5 lighting hood off ebay last week. Should be here this week.,

Are you going to get more light AND more LR before putting in coral?

Yeah. It will be at least 1-2 months after I have both light & lr before I add my first corals. I have a 10gal that is ready for corals, so I will add my first corals there. I am going on vacation start of next month so I am waiting till I get back before I purchase any corals.
