What kind of setup is it? It can greatly affect what kind of lights you can have.

IMO metal hallides give the best viewing. But its a little ridiculous to pay hundreds or even $1000 over dollars for MHs if your tank doesn't even require such intense lighting.

For FOWLR, you can just use normal FLs. Blue light definitely can be used for this setup, but if you got corals blue light alone is not sufficient, you must mix blue light with white light.

So i think you should provide more info for us to be able to help you.

I prefer Black Oyama background.. I can see my corals more clearly..

If you are not into those corals that need intense Lighting, then T5 or PL should more than enough for you...
