Depends on the look you like. I'm a MH guy, love the shimmer and they are proven thru and thru.

Great deal, a pair of 175w's would be perfect for a 55g. Enough light for whatever you want and not as much heat to deal with as the 250w. If you want to get fancy down the road you could diy yourself a strip of led actinics.
