i think those lights would be fine .if you want that glitter in the water and maximize coral growth mh 150 watts or 250 wat bulbs{ i was more in to propagation } i do like the power compacs because the color is almost unreal but in my opinon from experince those bulbs need to be changed every 6 months and they are not that cheap mh bulbs are good for almost a year or better so with this info i hope you can choose what you want ! let me know how you make ot and good luck!!!
