| Hey Tigereyes,welcome to M.D. forum I would definately check the T5 lighting that is available on the market. I've changed most of my tanks over to it and I'm very pleased. It isn't to pricey, low electrical consumption, minimal heat production, and does well for fish, live rock, and many corals. For a tank the size of yours you should be able to get a good fixture for a reasonable price. Again welcome hope you enjoy yourself on the forum.
Tom It,s the very things we think we know that prevent us from learning the things we should know.

Just to point out... There is no special lighting requirement for live rock. You can get that N.O. (no output) strip flourescent with no ill effects.
Granted T-5's will LOOK better, but they will also cost a mint for you.
Rock is live because of the bacteria that i has on it's surface. If your lucky, you get beneficial hitchhikers such as bristles and pods. Nothing about LR need light. HTH
