Affordable lighting for a 46 gallon reef

What kind of lighting should I use and could i get some links. ( $50- 150)

 

What kind of coral are you looking to keep. For that amount you will only be able to keep softies and some LPS on the top of the rock.

 

All I plan is softies

 

I got 2 36in t5 odyssea's (don't get me wrong as lights go they suck!) lights from e-bay and put ati bulbs bulbs in the for just about 150, and my monti cap, and I can't remember what are pretty stoked under them.

 

Looks like a birdsnest damon

 

Go with BMXClay's suggestion it will take care of you until you want more difficult corals and clams.

 

Only option I see is either odyssea T5 or HQI if you want new or pretty much any used not fancy brand will be around 100-150. Just dont buy PC. I see there are more and more peoples buying odyssea stuff.

 

This could definitely hold softies, it's a little over your budget:
