lighting advice please

[GovtCheese]

I had to make a heart wrenching decision to get rid of all my light needy inverts...

I want to remove the MHs and PCs.

what kind of (recommendations please) lighting setup can I use for a FO W/ (tons) LR?

I have a long 240 ga and I would like to drastically lower my PG&E, yet still be able to light up the tank and possibly keep my coraline algae

FYI
when I had the coral, I was running (4) 250w MH and (4) 96w PCs

t-5 would probably work well...cheapest bulbs to run that will still help with your coraline algae...or you could always check out the solarid LED...very efficient but the upfront cost is quite large.

I did look into the solaris, but to have enough lighting to cover the length of my tank.. I would still be well into thousands
