    If your looking to get this thing up and running as soon as you can there are much more important things you need to be worry about right now other than lighting.

    1. Take the time to research proper tank setup and install.
    2. Setup the tank per guidelines you find here.
    3. Start to cycle your live rock and live sand.

    From this point you will have a few weeks to worry about lighting (If you are one of those people that wants to run some light during the cycle...just use what you have for the time being)

    You should pick the light that works best for your tank size and allows you to add the livestock you want.

    Note: these are very broad guidelines I just gave. Research, research, research.

    Good luck.
