Lighting in my 150 gallon aquarium

I am in need of some advice. I have cheap lights on my 150 gallon aquarium. They are Coralife aqualight Dual linear strip lights with One 21 watt 10K and one 21 watt True Actinic T5 fluorescent lamp
34.375" L X 3.5" W X 1" H
One on/off switch and built-in ballast
Sleek black aluminum housing
Highly-polished reflector
Acrylic lens cover
Adjustable width tank mounts (legs to lift the light off the tank)
They have started to give me some trouble flickering, and not wanting to come on, so I was wondering about getting a new fixture. I know the lights that I have on there now are not strong enough for corals, but I would like to eventually have some. I need some suggestions on what kind of light to get so I can have corals in the aquarium, and that is going to be a good light. I do not want to pay an arm and a leg for a light, so if there are any good quality cheaper lights out there, please inform me. I am thinkin I would like to get a 72" light fixture, but possibly just go with two good 36" lights. which would be the best choice? Any help would be greatly apprectiated!
