What kind of corals do you want? Soft, LPS, or SPS?

I dont know what kind of corals, i would be interested in, Probably ones that are easy to go with, it is my first time i will be using corals. SO whatever is easy

what size tank?

If you are on a budget, I feel used equipment is the way to go. I am a DIY guy all the way, but I wanted a nice metal enclosure so I bought a real nice used dual-MH setup for cheap. Been 6 months and its best thing I ever did.

Not to mention wiring up a DIY MH which is to be installed over salt spray can be a bit unnerving... I feel it should be done well.

Its a 45 gal

I would look at T-5 for that size tank.

i suggest not to rush on lightings until you decide whether you are going to setup a reef tank or fish only tank and know exactly what kind of corals if reef is your choice. Otherwise, you will end up wasting more money.
