    Also will the fish be ok with normal flourescent lighting that came with the tank, i have to pay off my c.c and purchase a few things before i get my light, i know i would have to wait on corals, but would the fish be ok with basic lighting

    oh one more thing, out of the fish listed above what would be a good order to put them in?

    are the bulbs usually expensive? i think the one on reefgeek is expensive because it comes with the bulbs

    This one from them also comes with the bulbs, but they arent amazing, if you bought teh one for 140 and bought 4 bulbs your looking at about 230 TOTAL with up graded bulbs. My buddy have the four foot verison over his 75 and can keep sps at the top of the tank with no problems
