well in my 10 gallon i use a 70 watt halide by viper. cost about 160. also have a t5 fixture with 2 actinic bulbs and a daylite. seems to be doin great. i wouldnt advise going with just the 70 watt halide, so if ur on a 200 budget ur probably best getting a nice 4 bulb t5. it is only a 10 gallon so you shouldnt have trouble keeping anything. good luck.
