48inch 130 watt for now it has multiple bulbs in it (i'm new with the lighting stuff so I don't know much about it) Aqualife is the brand I believe... I just recently got my first pink zoanthid and seems to be doing great....

eventually I plan to upgrade to metal halide(few months) just for future reference how often should you replace bulbs for the metal halide?
