Lighting for 55 gallon

[brandonmoss]

Hi, I need help with lighting for my 55gallon tank. It is roughly 35" wide and 21" deep. I am from Australia so only name brand stuff is readily available. I was thinking of 2x kessil a150w or 2x ai prime hd? I want to be able to grow softies lps and some easy sps. Is this possible with these lights or what else should i be looking at? Thanks

unless you are set on led I would take a look at a 4 bulb t5 setup and if you go with kessils the a160's instead of the 150's for controllability. I had a 55 with 2 kessil a150 sky blues over it and traded them out for a aquaticlife 4 bulb t5 setup and ati bulbs, I was much happier with the t5's over the kessils.
