Most people spring for the Aquasun or Actinic White tubes from UV (formerly URI) with a combination of Super Actinics. For higher light corals (Acroporids, etc.), most spring for a higher ratio of Aquasun (or Actinic white, but the former is actually brighter) to superactinics. In this lighting, I have kept most types of corals successfully. You shouldn't be too terribly limited with this setup, IME.
