Replacement lights?

[What would be a good replacement for the stock lighting in an Eclipse 3 for a SW Fish Only tank. It currently has 2 18 watts 24 inch fluorescent tubes.

BTW: I do not wish to do a DIY. I would like to use the stock setup with better lights.

I was thinking about these lights or should I just get 2 Daylights instead of the 50/50?

24" (NO, T8 50/50 Fluorescent, 18W -Coralife
24" (NO, T8 10,000K Daylight, 18W -Coralife]
 
[Since you are looking FO it will mostly depend on what is more pleasing to you. The daylight bulbs are typically more yellow IIRC. The 10K will give you a whiter look. The 50/50 is going to give some blue tint to the 10K giving the tank a little nicer look IMO. But it is really a matter of preference. There are many who like the whiter look of a 10K only, but many can't get their tanks blue enough.

You might ask around at some of the LFS to see if they have any displays that you can compare to see what you like best.]
