what do you think about these

and to everyone that wanted pics of the skimmer i built i will get them soon I had to leave town for work and ill be back on the 27th

ok so I will need to get new bulbs for my PC fixture
I have a JBJ 2x96w fixture
Over a 36gal seaclear tank . tank has built in sump /ref
so its like a 30gal in the front i have a few corals and the light is working well for the soft corals and i dont plan on adding sps ect so i think this light is ok for my use? but
here is the deal I bought this light used so not sure how many hours are on the bulbs and there like 40 buck a bulb
so thats 80 plus a timmer right so this 100-120 more on this light

so do these look like ok lights and can i use just a MH over my tank or do i need some kind of Actintc ?

under the circumstances described above. mostly soft corals I would opt for a 4 lamp T5 fixture and probably go with 2 x 14k and 2 x actinic tubes ( I like that overall colour)
if I felt that in the future I would be tempted by SPS , then I would look at 6 lamp fixture
