starting a reef tank.
so far for lights i have 1 48'' 2- 65 watt pc strip light
and 1 48'' 2-65 watt pc 50/50 lights
will this be enough for a 55 gal reef tank?
or is my wallet going to be hurt somemore?
i am only goin to start off with mushrooms and polyps anyway.
but what i want to know is down the road can i add the big boys?

Should be fine for polyps, mushrooms, even many soft corals. If you try softies, I'd put them higher in the tank.
