I have the Coralife 2X96W on my 36" 50 with mainly softies, and some LPS, and a couple of Montipore digitata. I only run the 10000K during the day, and in the evening the Actinic also comes on. Everything is doing fine. I thought the 24" Coralife Aqualight had 2X65W bulbs. Anyway MOPS sells it for $229.00
BTW I used to run my 20H with a DIY top with two CSL 32W retro kits. It did very well, but it is not cost effective, as the kits sell for $129.95 each. So that is more than the Coralife Aqualight. I also ran the same tank with two, 2X13W Brightlite kits from Ahsupply.com. That worked too, but was very expensive.
Just a couple of ideas for you.
