VHO Lighting Question

[xrobbx03]

Ok i need some help maybe someone out there can help me. I been back and forth bout lights and i decided i dont wanna do metal halide because of the brace i have on my tank. I have 2 set ups in vho in mind

setup one
2x95 10,000k
2x95 12,000o
2x95 Super Actinic

What would i be able to keep under this lighting it would be 570watts of lighting.

setup two
a lil milder than the first
2x95 10,000k
2x95 Super actinic

what would i be able to keep under just those 4 bulbs equalling 380watts.

I guess my question is is that is there a big difference between the first and second. Will that first setup allow me to keep more or will they both be around the same. The second would save me about 73 dollars.

Im only looking to keep any kind of soft coral, an anenome and possibly a clam.

If your going to try an anenome or clam go with the first setup. I'd run 4 actinicwhite and 2 super actinics. Is this going on your 38g? I barely have enough room for 6 vhos over my 18" wide 125g.

yeah its going to be on my 38g. What i was planing on doing was sort of dropping the lights at different heights to get them all to fit if wa going to do the first setup. It would be tight but i think i could do it. Im going to be building a custom canopy around the lighting i choose.
