Hi I'm pretty new to the saltwater setup and this is my first post. I have a 55 gallon tank right now and I need some help with it. Right now I have a fish only tank and I need help with picking out lights. I have a Fluval Eco Bright led light that I was using on my freshwater tank. I want to eventually add corals and inverts when it's time. I'm confused about what lights I need to get and I want to go ahead and get the ones I need for a reef tank. I'd like to get the best thing for the least amount of money if that makes sense. I've heard LEDs are expensive and I guess I'd rather stay with fluorescent. Ive seen the term t5 but I don't know what that means or anything about light intensity. Can I get some help picking out what I need?
