nemo, if you want some really good bulbs i would look at www.reefgeek.com
they also have the best reflectors available and you can buy the ballast from them. T5 Giesemann bulbs they sell and they are really way better than those bulbs that are in the coralife and current fixtures. if you go with giesemann then you dont need as much wattage than if you went with the others. there is just no comparison. just my 2 cents.
the only issue could be that you would have to use an old housing or build one for yourself which can be super cheap and fun. its up to you.
