Lighting Question

[gregnice631]

Hi all. I currently have a 56 gal marineland column setup with a Current USA marine orbit led lighting system. In the near future i plan on buying corals as the tank is a fowlr setup at the moment with a skimmer/refugium. I am afraid that my lighting will be insufficient. I do like the Kessil's, but they just are not in my budget. I was reading about the par38 ecoxotic bulbs and also saw that they fit in standard lamps. i figured id get a clamp light for it. Would 2 of these lights be sufficient for my tank?

If you are on a budget, check out OceanRevive Arctic-T247. They're moderately priced and will grow anything you like.

Thanks. after some research i ended up ordering a finnex ray 2 daylight and a ray2 actinic. total cost was a little under 200 and the output will surpass my lighting that i have now.

I ended up going with finnex lighting. I use the fugeray 2 on my freshwater planted tanks with great results. I combined the ray 2 with a ray 2 actinic and i am very satisfied.
