Trying to decide which light fixtures to use on my 55 gallon tank

[UnderArmour1980]

Hey Everybody,
My project of the day is deciding which light fixture to use on my tank, hopefully it won't break the bank... I plan on having a variety of corals and fish of course. Zooanthids, frogspawn, hammerhead, anenomies and my favorite yumas and ricordias are the softies i will need to light... The dimensions on the top of my tank are 48" x 13.5"... Will be buying soon... Any input is appreciated... Thanks again everyone...

What is your budget for lighting?

You can get two eBay blackbox led and they work for corals you mentioned.

Thanks for doing the legwork finding those panels. My tank is only 13 and a half inches wide are those too wide? I may put in some other calls that weren't listed either. I like how those are dimmable too.

These are manually dimmable, they are about 8 inch from to back so they will give you good coverage on a 55 gallon.

For what you listed, LED or T5 would be just fine.
