In the 48 inches (saltwater) before I found this site and I'm in the process of working with a 21'' deep tank.

What all can I grow with these? I was hopeing some zoo's at some point

That amount of light will likely be enough for some zoanthids and corallimorphs. Please check the lighting requirements before you buy. I have no experience with LPS or SPS under those conditions, but IMO I would avoid anything other than soft corals with that amount of light.

Assuming I read the link right, it only comes with 2 65 50/50 bulbs, that is going to be pretty dim.

Might lose some of the color of the zoas, and would have to keep them higher up in the tank.
