need lighting help

I just upgraded to a 72g bowfront that's 48 inches across. The lighting I have just sits on the glass (bought used) and I either want to upgrade or find a hanging fixture. This is the one I have Saltwater Aquariums, Fish Tank Supplies, Aquarium Products and Reef Tank Equipment - Hanging Arm Assembly for Current-USA Fixtures and is 36 inches long.
I would rather have one that sits on the edge and is elevated. Your help is appreciated but don't break the bank please.
Thanks guys

 

What type of tank is this going to be? Fish only or Reef. If reef softies and LPS or SPS dominant?

 

reef LPS dominant

 

would this work? Saltwater Aquariums, Fish Tank Supplies, Aquarium Products and Reef Tank Equipment - Deep Blue SolarExtreme 48" T5HO

 

A 2X54W T5HO with individual reflectors will do the job. A 4X54W T5ho with individual reflectors will let you keep just about any animal you want.

 

I dont know that brand but that doesnt mean anything. It would work just fine for LPS and softies

 

Definitely, you will want to change out the bulbs after about 3 months as their quality is low.

 

so what setup would work like the link above and last for months on end? I know LED's are nice but too pricey for me at this time

 

You would want to go to Reefgeek.com and get a Tek or ATI unit, but they are not cheap.

 

that's very pricey, which I expected.
So if I buy the one I posted I should just upgrade the bulbs in three months and then run accordingly?
Thanks.
