Hi, I have a 48" Coralife Aqua lunar 4x65 white and actinic bulbs with lunar (night) lights setup that is 4 months old. I have the same tank as you. Before buy lights though you need to make sure you don't make the same mistake I did. I have upgraded (3) times in 6 months. I now have 2x250 Metal Hallides. IMO if you are going to end up with a full blown reef you might want to consider the MH's. The PC's I am selling are great for medium and low light corals. If you eventually want soft corals or clams MH is the way to go. It also is very hard to find nice lighting setups for the 72 because you only have 12" wide to work with and most lighting is 15". The setup I am selling is $225 + you pay shipping from 90630. I hope you find what your looking for.
