if your lights have only 2 lamps each then they cant be the same fixture you showed.If you have a coralife aqualight dual linear strip they are made for fish only.the lights you have in the pic are t5.What size lights how many,and are they all 10k or a mix does it have individual reflectors

I am not fighting you on your lights you asked a ? on coral and if you can get them.I asked what type of lights you have and you where all over with pc ,t5 and wattage I was only trying to help and if you know your lights are strong enough why ask

o.k. here you go... coralife does not include individual reflectors and only offer (at a 48" fixture) 2x28w bulbs.... This will severly limit your options
most sps are unavailable (montiporas) and (acroporas)
clams are highly not suggested either
otherwise go for it / great lighting for softies and many LPS
