    the blue and 18k are power glo
    the 6700k is coral life
    and the 10k are slim paq

    Also if I was going to go out and spend more money to buy one fixture for my 55 gallon what could I buy to have any coral?

    2in10 said "With these bulbs you will be able to keep SPS to mid tank. You should be able to keep SPS on the top with the bulbs you have and Montipora SPS in the mid to upper area."

    In other words, you don't need a new fixture. What you have now will work fine. Save your money.

    Just FYI, stores have a tendency to try and sell you stuff. There may be one or two that will give you an honest answer, but those are usually few and far between.
