Im also in the process of buying lighting for my 55 gallon tank and from what I found found you definatly dont need 8 t-5's for you 55 gallon tank. Everyone has been telling me the Tek 4 bulb 54 watt system would be perfect for a 55 gallon tank. Im sure alot of other people will be able to give you more suggests and reasons to make the right choice.

also you'll learn real fast that if you dont get a t-5 set up with individual reflectors you might as well buy a Power Compact light. Just info I have found out after searching for new lights for the alst 3 weeks.

These seems to be one of the most popular products for a 55 gallon set up from what I have found.
