Ok, I am ordering my Tek T5 system, 4 bulb for my 55 gallon.Would this be a good setup for my tank. With so many bulb choice , which ones do I chose. Right now I have FOWLR but I am getting this setup so I can right my reef, nothing too hard for now so no clams or anything needing tons of lighting. What do you think would be the best combo for a reef setup.

Take a look at the T5 q&a thread. It has recommendations and some pictures. Of course, you could look for people who have the same fixture and find a tank color you like, then use the same combination.
