need lighting help!!!

I am currently running 2 compact pro lighting systems 120 gal reef tank)). Each totals 4 dual bulbs. One fixture requires straight pins and the other requires square pins. I was told that this is not enough light but before I changed over to half/and half, and a mixture of blue actinic/with violet as the second bulb things were thriving specifically my POM POM xenia but it's starting to withdrawl. If you would be so kind as to suggest (I am thinking about going back to 10000K x 4 an the others true blue actinic) what type of lighting would you suggest without having to buy new fixtures I would be in your debt. I mainly have dusters, frogspawn and hammer coral and a few fish. Where do you recommend I buy the lights. I have seen them way up in price to around $20. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!
