Neon Green Sarcophyton elegans Frags

I just cut four frags from my Green Sarcophyton tonight. I don't want to sell them until they have gotten attached to a rock and come out completely though. I just thought I would give people a heads up at least to see if anyone is interested. I was thinking of charging $60 a frag. The frags are about the size my thumb nail so I think thats a reasonable price. If you think I'm crazy let me know. I attached a picture of the mother colony. If you're interested pm me.

I'm a very inexperienced reef hobbyist. And my opinion on the price would be uneducated (sounds fine to me) All I know is it looks pretty and I was wondering what kind of light system you would need to have for it. I'm saviong up to buy a system now and wonder if it would work. I plan to get a retrofit with
2 400W MH 10,000K
2 110W Ultra Actinic VHO

I have a 55 gallon tank

Would it work for those? Would it work for just about anything? I keep asking people what kind of light system I should get and they tell me I need to decide what kind of stuff I would like to have in the tnk and so I look at websites and stuff and all they say about lights is something like "this requires medium-high lighting" Well what does that mean?

Any better resources you can give me or anything? Sorry my post is a bit off topic from your thread but any help would be superly appreciated.
Thanks
and again Sorry

Are those 2 400w MH for the 55? I think that is a bit much for that size tank. I would do 2 150w hqi or 2 175 moguls. BUT if you want 2 400watters I have 2x400w PFO ballast/spider reflector and plugs for sale.

I think these will be fine under any VHO or PC bulb. I don't think fluoresents would work.

I am just running 2x96w powerquad power compacts and 2x55w power compacts on my tank and it grows very well at the top of my tank. Metal halides are nice but I am content with my pcs. If I had acros and a lot of clams like I used to, I would get a nice halide setup. Softies do well without halides. Its just the clams and the acros that dig the intensity of the halides. However I have a squamosa clam that really does well in my tank with just the pcs.

Did my post not show up for anybody else?
Well my RC has been really messed up lately. Anyways.
I always thought that the more the merrier are you saying that it is possible to have too much lighting? If that is the case exactly what would be damaged by the too many lights?
Can someone explain to me what are the benefits of actinic and the benefits of 10,000K (whatever that means) Which kind is good for what kind of things? I'm sorry I don't understand lights at all.
