    I might recommend a 4 bulb fixture. Eventually, if you want harder-to-keep corals, 7you will be ready, with a 4bulb that is.. I would go with the same brand though. Try the Aquarium Lighting for Freshwater and Reef Systems: Nova Extreme Compact SLR T-5 Fixtures Costs less too. The higher wattage should be ok for zoas and the stuff you want, but will allow for addition of other corals later on.

    Edit: Just realized the 30" for this too, is only 2 bulbs. It is still higher wattage though.
