what is the best lighting for a FO tank, its 180 gallons, And where is it the cheepest?

I might be wrong but with fish it shouldn't matter. Basically it is a matter how bright you want it and the color you want it. i.e. the glimmer on the rock from the current on the surface or the actinic blue color that brings more colors out in the fish. If you have live rock then it might make more of a diff.

I would look to get atleast some PC`s=Power Compacts they will enable you to keep live rock,as to how much wattage, is up for debate.good luck

I agree that PC's or VHO are fine. I think it is nice to have just incase you ever want to keep something other than fish.
