I recommend 2 actinic, 1 10000K and 1 fiji-purple or giesseman-pink bulb (either or) so you can get another spectrum of colour in there. Yes the 3-5 watts is for your total light emitted so add up the wattage of each bulb. I would lean closer to 5 watts/gl so that you can get a wider range of corals down the road. I noticed you havent mentioned anything about a protein skimmer....have you looked into them yet? Because your standard hang-on filter wont do the trick.
