Time to buy lighting. Your opinions needed.

[butesch]

I have a shiny new 58 gallon that has been sitting on my customer built stand for about a year,,,,,waiting for me to get back into the hobby.

I was thining about a 175 watt MH and supplement it with my 2 55 watt PCs. My question is what brands of bulb show what color? I want a white with a tinge of blue, but not too much. What websites have the best deals going on right now? Tar ballast or eletronic? A retrofit kit will be fine since I am building my own canopy.

I want to have a minimally stocked tank with a clam at some point, an anenome with a clownfish....a couple of corals.....nothing more required exept a mandarin once it is very well established.

Give me your thoughts on lighting for me. I would like to order tomorrow.
Thanks.
