Default lighting

currently i only have some dinky fluorescent lighting that came with the tank, obviously i need to upgrade, however i dont have the money to pay for halides, or anything high end. I'm thinking
Compact Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: Single Satellite Compact Fluorescent Fixtures

Aquarium Lighting & Hoods: All-Glass Deluxe Fluorescent Full Hoods - Black

Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: All-Glass Aquarium Oak Strip Lights

my tank length is 24 inches, but could a 20 inch lighting be good enough to fit on top? I'm planning on using a single 50/50 bulb as im not raising corals just yet.

i dont want to exceed 50-60 dollars on lighting. so if you find something else that i havent listed, please let me know. thanks all!
