I read that Power Compact fluorescent was only sufficient for soft corals like leathers, and some others that don't require intense lighting. I think you'd be better off with a strong T-5HO / overdriven (icecap ballast) setup or MH if you want to keep hard coral and other coral requiring high intensity lighting. Go with MH for keeping clams. I went with PC, because I don't want want to spend the big bucks on MH until I get the bigger tank. I didn't want to get the wrong size MH setup first for the 55 gal and have to upgrade that later.
Thanks.
