Alright i have my first question(actually second, first was on RO filters).

I'm about ready to purchase some lighting for the tank, i know this is sometimes a controversial(sp?) topic and asking what kind of lights should i get is a loaded question. I know it's based on what i want to do.So here's a short list of things(corals) i like and hope to someday keep.

Ricordea, Zoanthus, Trumpet(CandyCane), and possibly Torch Coral and a few others. These are the ones that drew me into reef tanks and made me want to have one so bad. With that list made and some research done, i've come to the conclusion that i need moderate to high level of lighting for these corals.

My budget will really only allow for Power Compacts (although in a perfect world i'd love a Solaris LED system). I've looked around on the web and these two 48" Orbit 4x65 watt SunPaq w/Lunar Light: Aquarium Equipment and Supplies - Aqua Buys
48" Dual Satellite 4x65 Watt w/Lunar Light: Aquarium Equipment and Supplies - Aqua Buys
are the ones i'm deciding between.

Has anybody had experience with these systems? Or do you have a better recomendations? I'm not in dire need for the lights, as my tank doesn't even have Live Rock in it yet... but i'd like to start thinking about it.
