For a 55 2x175 watt or 250 watt MH with VHO actinic supplement will allow you to keep almost anything BTA's, SPS, clams, LPS, softies good luck but remember MH get expensive so slowly buy everything.

i think the 2 x 175 watt halides is a good suggestion. the 250's will be too much for soft corals and LPS in that shallow tank IME.
