20 gallon frag tank

[genesisblue]

Hey all,
I just upgraded to a 55 gallon display tank leaving a perfectly good 20 gallon long tank full of water and sand. I think I want to turn it into a sps frag tank, but was curious what kind of lighting I should put over it. I have a t5 fixture that will put out 156 watts but I was also considering putting a halide on it. I found one online thats a 70watt clip on light. Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Adam

Is there a good range of available reef appropriate bulbs for a 70w Halide. One thing to keep in mind is if you are using it as a frag tank from the main display the lights should be similar. If they are too different every time you frag it will take a while for the frags to adjust and then start to heal and encrust. Also, even with appropriate time to adjust the end look of the frag might be significantly different than the mother colony since lighting can change coloratio and even growth patterns. So if the 55g is going T5's I would stick with that.

I didn't even think about that. Thanks for the advice!
