I'm looking at a 48" T5 6X54watt which equals 324W, 3- 54watt 12,000 and 3 54watt Actinic Blue Lamps...here it is on ebay 48" 324W Aquarium Light Reef Marine Tank w LCD Timer Freshwater Lighting Coral | eBay
Will this be sufficient on my 55 gal reef tank I want to possibly have hard coral and clams in the future....Thanks Bill

A 6 x 54 watt T5 HO fixture would work. I would also change out the lamps. I like ATI Blue plus and ATI Aquablue specials though. I'm not a fan of the pink look. It's personal preference really, just make sure you pick quality lamps like ATI or Giesemann.
