Retrofit LEDs in a PC fixture?

I thinking about retro fitting a 24" Current USA TrueLumen Pro LED 12k/453nm in my Current Orbit 30" duel PC fixture. ATM it has 1-65watt 10k and 1-65watt 420/460nm bulbs in it. The tank is a standard 29 gallon, 30x12x18. Questions are 1. Would it fit if I spaced the pc bulbs a little further apart and 2. Would this work for SPS corals. I love Acroporas but don't want to waste the PC fixture and thought I could use LEDs and PCs.

This is the LED strip in question http://www.marinedepot.com/Current_...xtures-Current_USA-CU03000-FILTFILDTN-vi.html
 
I have a 27g that came with PC's. I took the PC's out completely and installed an AI Sol Blue in it's place. I looked at some strip lighting but figured it wasnt going to be nearly enough for what I wanted to grow. I'm growing SPS (acros, monti caps), LPS and softies now without a problem and pretty much anywhere in the tank. I'm no expert on any of the strips but I'm not sure they will perform like you want.
