Hello I am changing the lighting on my 55 gallon the dimensions are

I am looking to spend no more that £70

Does the tank have a lid or is it open topped?
What is the current lighting - fluorescent tubes?
 
If you intend making your own, you are not restricted by the fittings in your current lid. I would be inclined to decide on the lighting you want first, then build the lid to accommodate it.
Other members can help you decide on the lighting to get, but I do know that your need a K rating of around 6500 K for plants. That could be fluorescent tubes, or LED tubes, or an over the tank fitting (the type that has little 'legs' which fit on to the sides of the tank).
