that would be sick, i havnt done any coral in my tank its been rough so far, but sps will do amazing under those lights, pretty much everthing other than clams would do good. i have heard clams need mh but your tank is kind of small for a good size clams anyways.

i agree that, that much light is over kill on that small of a tank and if you do get softies put them on the bottom, you could also just take out 2 of the lights and it would still be pretty strong for that tank. i have just asked around and i always seem to hear that clams need mh's
