    Lighting For Corals, Help a Newbie!

    I have a 75 galon glass tank set up with about 90lbs of live rock on it. Right now I have a 2 54 watt CF on it. I want to move into LPS and maybe even SPS and I was wondering what lighting system was the best. T5, CF, MH?! Also how many watts do SPS and LPS corals need? My tanks has a...
