are there any bulbs there besides what I have that would be better for coral growth, health, ect....

the ones i have are ok and my corals are growing but very slowly and now is the time to upgrade my bulbs. not sure what to get. but they have to be 48 inch.

i like it pretty well. it does have a timer, but its like, a one time thing. the lights either on or off at the time you set. you can't have the light, like turn the night light on and off multiple times. i wish you could but other then that i like it, and it does have individual reflectors. I haven't heard to much good about it, but i'm pleased so far only having it maybe 3 months now. the coral i have has grown some, not a lot, but some. i have 2 sps pieces and its keeping them alive.
