if i wanna keep coral.. izzit a must for me to buy lighting which can hold 2 tube?

If budget is yr contraint, then i would suggest that u read up more first, save up some $$$ and get the best u can get to prevent the hassle of further upgrading. This is one common reefers made,like me.... wat lighting to get deoend on wat kind of corals u want to keep...

well i can DIY myself the lighting to hold 2 tube...

but which type of tube should i go for?

[Tanzy]

Two tubes are still too little.

The least you should go is PL.Getting T5 now will save you the hassle of upgrading later.

IMo if you want to keep corals, i suggest you go for pl or t5s or even MH...........

[SharkBait]

T5 is slimmer than Pl so you can cram more tubes.BUt its not exactly cheap..
