I'm gonna sound like a knob but i don't really know what kind of lights they are....they came with it. There's 2 lights with 4 bulbs per light. 2 of the bulbs are blue and 2 white on each light. 24" long.
Yes i have a magnet cleaner...just a 1" x 3", i'm still exploring other options but that seems to work well so far...

Sounds like just PC lighting. Depending on your stocking plans, an upgrade may be in order.

Could be T5 as well. If you take a photo of the bulbs, we can tell you :-)
Also, the idea behind untamed's flow suggestion is to mimic the natural alternating ebb and flow of the ocean. Both the fish and corals seem to prefer a random, alternating current.

Well, it depends on what your stocking plans are, Those lights IMHO won't let you keep anything more than softies and some LPS. I would upgrade myself if it was in the budget.
edit - I've learned the lesson that even if you think you don't want SPS, clams or harder to keep LPS... at some point you will

They're great lights but with the depth of your tank you may be limited with what you can keep coral-wise. You can certainly keep softies and most LPS with that type of lighting. Probably not SPS (unless you kept them up really high and even then you might not get any good color out of them) and I don't think you could keep any clams in there as most need metal halide lighting. Theres certainly a wide range of other corals you could happily keep in there though, neat tank!
