CustomSeaLife replacement bulb

I have a 36 inch CustomeSeaLife fixture with a 10k bulb and a blue actinic bulb. I need to replace them for the first time, but CustomeSeaLife is out of business. I found this at Marine Depot http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...product=PC1965 and it looks like it would work.
Other than square pin and 34 inch length, is there any other compatability issues I should be aware of? Is there a specific brand that I need to use as the replacement?
Thanks in advance for any insight or suggestions.

The 10k is 96watts and the actinic is also 96watts. I was going to buy two of the 50/50 96 watts at MarineDepot.com.

Custom Sealife closed and was bought out and reopened under a new name, Current USA so the lamp you re looking at (although MD has the wrong picture up there, I want that DE halide for 35 bux ) it is the right lamp for your fixture. The wattage, pin configuration and length are all you need to worry about. The only downside to the 50/50 lamps is that you can't do as nice Dusk/Dawn as you can with one straight actinic lamp. They also have a dual range 6500K/10K dalight lamp that might be sweet running with an actinic in front of it. That should have a broad spectrum like halides provide.
