No doubt lighting will be on the high side but no reason to back off. you can use any old light for fish only and save up for a fixture or wait for a good used one to pop up.

Another 72" option which has 8 bulbs...

You could also do a 60" if you can suspend it up off the water. This would be a great light. Note that no bulbs come with this...

Other option is to build a canopy and use some T5 retrofit kits or looking into a halide setup.
 
Yeah I guess I could start slow. The difference between live rock and a reef is just adding coral to the live rock correct. If that's how it works then I could easily transition.

I'll look into building my own. I'll try and find some how to's or something. Feel free to link any DIY T5 references you have. I don't mind buying the bulbs and stuff over time.

Is halide that different in price? I think I read that halide is just more focused light.
