What type of lighting do you have now and what lights are you interested in?

I just have the crappy l.e.d light that came with the tank, it was so dark that I had to supplement it with another l.e.d light.. I'm so over my corals looking like crap and not growing like they should.. I have to turn on the night blues just to be able to see the corals color and I know I can't leave just those on all time..
I really want T5 lights, I've been trying to find someone with a 2 or 3 bulb fixture with feet that they'd be willing to trade.. But sadly I haven't had much luck finding anybody yet...

I've got a buddy with a 30" 4 bulb T5, Mr. D
