What corals could I keep in my 55 if I only put 2-110w icecaps on it?

I can't make up my mind if I sould just put a 2 bulb system on it or go w/ 3 maybe four. I only have 7 3/4 in of room because of the piano hinge. I not gonna keep anything that needs sunlight or anything but maybe a clam (not maxima)pulsing xenia(I know but I like um), and some other assorted hard and softies. I've always had relatively small reef tanks where wattage has not been a problem but I'm formulating a plan to reef out the 55. So what so you think?

I run 315 on my 72 (4.375 wpg) I have softies and LPS. All do just fine and grow like crazy. If you are not planning on any SPS I think things should be just fine. However if you can squeeze another bulb in there the more the marrier.

I am not sure i understand this quote?
how can you say you are not keeping anything that needs light, then you say hard corals, clams.. etc. and corals in general......
use 3 or 4 bulbs.,

I would assume that he is comparing MH to "sunlight" whereas he is going to be running actinics....Just a guess
