Recomendations lighting for 55gal
Hello to all. Im a newb that just started setting up my 55gal tank. I currently have two 50/50 65 watt bulbs and one 65 fully antinic. Now I want to be able to house SPS. The dimensions of my tank 30lx18wx19h What do you guys recommend?

Any advice will help! I feel like my LFS is just tring to sell me anything.

You`ll need some intensity. T5`s or MH`s for your 55. T5`s will be cheaper.
