I'm confused. Is one bulb a 50/50, and one a 6500K?

Either way...your best bet is probably gonne be possibly shrooms, maybe some zoo's, and other softie corals. Dont' expect them to color up too much though. But I would think you can keep them none-the-less.

Wait for others to chime in.

anyone else got any ideas?

You could do some zoos and shrooms. I would try to get some new bulbs. I would get a 10,000k and a Actinic bulb. This would give you more of the light that they would need. I would get a lot of rock work so you could set them high in the tank.

Heres the existing rockwork.And I should buy one PC of 10000k and one 100% actinic?

The rock looks good. Yes one 10k and one 100% actinic. What is that on one of the top rocks? The 10k will give them the light they need and the actinic will make the color of the coral stand out.
