Default Is this light adequate?

I'm considering buying the Coralife HO fluorescent fixture for my tank. The tank
is a 125 gallon and is 23" deep. Here's a link to the fixture.

http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products.../Itemdy00.aspx

It comes with two 96 watt 10,000K and two 96 watt actinic bulbs. Each is a
double tube bulb. There's also a bulb on the market that is half actinic and
half 10,000K. Replacing the actinics would give me 3/4 of the output in the
10,000K range and only 1/4 actinic. Would that be a good idea?

The tank is currently FOWLR, but I intend to eventually add some soft corals.
