Hello, I have a 55 gallon refugium display tank in need for lighting. I goal is to get mangrove, clams and sea horses. I need to think about a light that will cover having plants, corals and fish. Any suggestions in the low to mid price range?

Any of the black boxes would work well. Maybe check out the Nicrew Hyper Reef LED on Amazon. They come in versions from 30W-150W. I just got some 100W and am pretty impressed for the price. Whatever you get, use more of the white channel than a typical reef tank. This should help keep the plants happy, have blues for the clam/corals, and the fish..... Well they really don't care. :)
