Looking for opinions

Does anyone have experience with the coralife advanced fixture? it comes with 2 (150 watt) HQI bulbs rated at 20,000K. I have a standard 30 gallon (36"x 12"x 18") that I'm looking to upgrade the lighting on for a mixed reef including some SPS. Because of the width of the tank I'm limited to what I can use. This fixture would fit perfect, but I'm not sure two 150 watt bulbs is actually going to be overkill. Other fixtures that contain one bulb, plus actinics are just too wide. What are some of your thoughts?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I definitely want to go with halides and not T5's.
