I would go with the Nova fixture...That Current fixture is PC's and only 18 watts which would limit your coral selection bigtime.

so the second 1?

Get this fixture.... Or any VHO T5 if you want it good enough for most corals... If you only want zoos, shrooms and maybe a leather then you can survive with a PC fixture... I would be looking into more than 18 watts though...I would say around 36 would be sufficiant and give you a far better range of options in your corals. You would also see better growth.
