So right now i have my AGA 10 gallon standard setup with live rock and live sand cycling with a temporary damsel. Right now it just has the cheap incandescent HORRIBLE HORRIBLE lights on it! Obviously, i want to get into corrals eventually once the cycle finishes but i have no idea what light i should purchase.

So...could anyone refer me a nice light for a 20'' long aquarium? I'm looking to keep newbie corals, low to moderate lighting and also looking to keep the price not too much higher than the 50 dollar range for the lights!

Thanks for the input everyone!

I'd advise you to get a PC, but you'll get the bug and want a MH. . . Get the MH!

Honestly you won't be able to get anything more than you have for $50.

I have to agree with Xandernfs, and say in your position, go for the 70W HQI Sunpod fixture. Which can be found here:

Not exactly $50 but as most would say this would exceed your current assumed needs, but down the road it will pay off as a well though of investment.

they're right, however if $250 is to much, i'd go with this-http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/204808/product.web

Wonderful power compact fixture. My Uncle has it on his 10 gallon and I have the Dual Satellite fixture on my 10g AGA. I think Current is a wonderful company. good luck!
