what do people think I have a 4 ft 18" deep with chiclids    currently have 2 T8's 42"  but never seems bright enough?
looking at the following and getting 2 tube unit:
 

oh i have one tube at back and one at front of the tank.
 
Arcadia Electronic Controller - 2 x 54w T5    £34.99     (definately getting)
 
 
what combination of the following will be best ?
 
Arcadia J5 54W Original Tropical Pro Lamp 1047mm   £19.96  
Arcadia J5 54W Marine Hybrid Lamp 1047mm        white and blue combo) £19.96   each     
Juwel High-Lite Marine T5 Lamp 54w 1047mm Buy 1 Get 1 Free   14000k     £23.95   for 2
 
what comb will be best     , could it be too bright
 
so really confused over what tubes.

was going for Juwel High-Lite Day T5 Lamp 54W 1047mm Buy 1 Get 1 Free at back of tank and  arcadia pro at front .  but high lite day out of stock every where

want to buy 2 tubes and controller at same place ideally.

so any other idea's on tubes as it seems like above is unavailable from factory for some reason.

worried marine might be too bright?

as i say 2 t8 42" in my 4ft 18" deep tank are not enough light by a long way.
