Salt water and lighting corals and inverts?

I have an eclipse 20 gallon (long) saltwater tank. My tank is still new, but I have 25 lbs of live rock, a maid, and a clown fish. The water parameters are fine. Anyway, My eclipse of the hood has two 24 inch t8 fluorescent lights that are 20 watts each. Is it better to replace these bulbs with actinic light bulbs or is it better to buy the upgrade kit for the eclipse hood. The adjustment of the light is 24-inch light that is 65watts 50/50. The kit is like $ 65 plus tax and shipping. My ideal tank would include the maiden, the clown fish, fire or goby fish, corals and low light as mushrooms and zoanthids (?), and a fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp (but I think the 20 gallon is too small for 2 shrimp). Also I would like some crabs and snails as well. I want to keep the bell for Eclipse T5S not fit. Neither do I have to go with the upgrade or t8s brighter. What best way? The conversion cost about $ 40 more than buying new bulbs.

I would like to see in the retro. This permits better PAR to the bottom of the tank forward to not allow more light to reach your corals .. Not sure if you can get a better grade T8s as 10000k and acitnic K or not (but I do think you can) if you can may be able to maintain low and mushrooms Zoas light just ...
