help with lighting

[Kadja]

Hey guys my name is Erick and I just started not to long ago as a fish hobbist on my saltwater tank.I have a 57 gallon rimless tank that as a couple of fish, some zoas and polyps, soft coral and lps corals. For lighting I have two 36" deep blue solar max fixtures on it. 1 has 2 daylight bulb and the other has 2 actinic bulbs. My question is it a good amount of light to have sps corals and if not what bulbs should I put to have a good amount of light for my reef tank?

Aim for 4 watts plus per gallon.

Hmmm would 1 10k and 16k bulbs would do it or 2 16k

How many watts are the bulbs? Is it T5 or power compact? For the zoas and polyps, it probably doesn't matter much, but some of the LPS do better with more lighting.

I live in the heights of jersey city and I have t5s in them and led is hard to find a good a pair of leds and i would have to craft a case to mount them since hanging them is out the question lol.
