Hi guys I just wanted to ask everyone on their opinion on what kind of lighting system that I should get for a 75 gallon tank. I'm still new and getting acquainted with the hobby. I wanted to start out with some of the easier corals to grow, but I really want to grow some lps down the road. Right now I'm trying to debate on getting a T-5 set-up or if I can find a used pc with metal halides in it.

Tell me what you guys think would work better to grow. Which set up is cheaper on your electric bill as well.

Thanks
