I think this would be OK. Frankly I can't stand PC lights, they break, they burn out the ballasts are unreliable and the color rendering is mediocre. If you aren't in a real hurry I will have some new options in a few months. One would be a European PC pendant from Giesemann, this solves a couple of problems, the ballast will be more reliable and the Osram bulbs have a heavier bridge and are less fragile, price however will be double but it is a nicer fixture with 2 lamps 110W. The other technology emerging is T-5 lamps- equal to PC but less fragile and dimmable. A 70w Metal Halide is the absolut best option but you will spend about $300, I see you are young and probably can only dream to buy something like this much as I did. I used to wish to some day own an Eheim or a Tunze, fortunately when you get older you can put yourself in as much debt as you want buying toys. For now the PC fixture is a good option but go with the Brite Lite- the Smart Lite bulb is not so good. Be careful with the bulb, and always use a glass plate over the aquarium to protect the fixture. For actinic keep the regular strip you have and buy a T-8 Osram 18w actinic at the shop it will give you beautiful color and it is only $15.
