What Do You Think Of This?

I found this light fixture, and it looks pretty decent to me, but what do I know?!?

I can't see myself spending $3-400 on lights, but this is much more do-able.
I think the 30" model holds 2 bulbs, so that would give me about 6 watts/gallon, right? That would be enough for a few corals if I get the fever for them I think.
So, is it a yay or nay?

I hear those fixtures get hot.

Well they're PC's, and PCs are OK. I wouldnt go with that specific bulb combo though. 6700K is very yellow and won't look bad and may encourage algae growth.

What kind of bulbs would you suggest?

10k - 14k colour rating

maybe a 10,000k and an actinic blue bulb.

Just keep an eye on the fans and the temp of the fixture if you get it.
