Light strip question...

[Glomgold]

OK, so I have a gift card for Petsmart worth $110.00, and I was wondering if you guys think this light strip would be a good buy:

Petsmart sells these light strips for $109.00. I know Big Als has it for way cheaper, but if I got it from Petsmart, it would be pretty much free (I'd just have to pay tax).

So my question is, would this be a good light strip for growing corals? I don't want to grow coral immediately, but some day I probably will. I figured I could mount this inside my canopy along with a couple cooling fans.

This light strip takes T-8, T-10 and T-12 bulbs. Would two 110W VHO bulbs be enough to grow corals?

This looks like a NO strip to me. You need special ballasts to do VHO.

Oh, would that not be enough for corals?

no. You will want something more powerful, more awsome, more expensive:

An excellent choice Rocket. I love my 36 incher. I'm still upset about not winning your Clownfish naming contest though.
