Lighting

I need to do more reseach, but I thought I would check with you guys first and get some good opinions.

This is for the 55 gallon. (For those that haven't tuned into my on going saga ) The tank has 30 lbs of live rock, 25 of dry reef and about 30 lbs of sand and crushed coral. Right now it is inhabited by two clowns, I am postive 95% they are true perculas.

Now to the lighting question. I am interested in having an anemone. This is a good 3-4 months away. The LFS has some compact power lighting 115 watts. Not a bad price on them, but I have found better deals online.

Is this strong enough? Is it required I go with metal halide. The LFS is only using these 115 watt lights and they have wonderful looking corals.

What do you guys use/recommend. I had not planed on getting any corals, but who does?

Thanks is advance,
Rusty

edit: After using a link Travis posted on another thread the clowns are false perculas. Tank raised.
