If that works, then its off to the fishy store to buy a "tester fish".
So I have two questions, what's a good cheap test fish??
and
the big one, what light/s do you suggest for this size tank (24x20x20)?!

What is your stocking plan? Some people just put in a damsel as a first fish but often regret it later as many are aggressive. I did that with my first tank, got a domino damsel and later regretted it and had to remove him which was a pain.
If you have an idea of what fish you want, I would start with the hardiest and most peaceful fish you plan to keep then go from there.
Also, do you plan to have corals? If so, what types of corals? Softies? LPS? SPS? The answer to your lighting questions will be based on what types of corals you plan to keep or if you plan to keep corals.
You have a nice start going!
