Do you guys know any websites that sell good lighting system?

Hey guys, I was wonderful if you guys could help me find a lighting system for my new 46gals bf tank. I recently upgrade my 20gals system and transferred everything I have in the tank to the new one, but it seem like my previous lighting system cannot support my new tank. I can tell because some of my ployps are not fully opened and my bubble coral seems like it is dying. Do you guys know any websites that sells good lighting system for a good price. And any suggestions on what I should get? Tank is setup for reef, planing to keep some clams as well.

I want to keep some clams under this light, it said that it is more powerful than some 250watts halide, but I don't know anything about halide.

70 watts defintly isnt enough for a 46g ..... that link it said its for nano systems

and the lamp is a 20" strip, ur 46 gallon needs a 36" strip, unless u get 2 20"s or somethin

I'm short on $$$ now, I have a 24 Inches 130 watts pc light and is planing to purchase this one and use it with the pc at the same time. Do you guys think it is a good idea.

I am discarding this idea.

or a sunpod 30 inches metal halide?

Like I said before, I'm low on $$$, which one will be best for the $$$ and a 46gals bf reef tank?

 

[saltwater84]

Do you guys think 150watts of halide will be enough?
or should I just get the t5 fixture from tek light?

You can keep pretty much whatever you want under 150 watt halides. If its a pendant, the light itself can usually cover about 3 foot of tank length so that would be a great option.
