To bump this post along, I ended up with a 90 gallon reef, things were going well until the summer. Most of my corals died off from the heat, my 90 gallon tank was hitting 97 degrees. I didn't want to buy a chiller because of the cost, but after loosing probably $2500 worth of corals I guess that was a stupid decision.
I've got a 15 gallon nano set up now, I'm using the Aqualights, a 130watt and a 65 enclosure. The 130 watt is a 65watt actinic with a 65 watt 10,000k while the 65 watt enclosure has a second 10,000k tube. My corals look like they are enjoying all the light (yes there's enough). I'm working on a stand right now, I have two other 15 gallon tanks that have been drilled out. One will be the main/display tank, one will be the sump and one will be the refugium. I'll have a DSB in the refugium, some cleaner shrimp to breed in there, lots of rock/caluperas etc.. I hope this turns out well.
