the catalina is ok, just ok. it does have individual reflectors but they are contoured, not the best. what your looking for is parabolic reflectors, like sunlight supplies TEK reflectors or icecaps SLR reflectors. depending on how high the tank is and what bulbs you can fit, watt wise(54 watts punch more than 39watters and 39w more than 24w) meaning, a tank comparison;
24x19x18(35gal) using 6x24w T5= 144w or 4.1w/gal
36x19x18(55gal) using 6x39w T5= 234w or 4.2w/gal
both tanks are 19" tall. both lighting setups give about the same watts per gallon. but the 39watters will punch through the water more and the corals on the bottom will get more light vs the corals under the 24watters even though the watts per gallon are the same. hope you can see what i mean on the bulb watts and though the same watts/gal on used the 39w bulbs will produce more lighting(PAR) at the depth.
also, again depending on how tall the tank is, for SPS and clams you may need to overdrive the bulbs, it give about a 20-30% increase in lighting. the catalina and novas are good for many corals, most LPS and some SPS. if your going to be keeping clams and sps i would get a sunlight supply fixture or GE fixture, something with parabolic reflectors for sure and overdrive that bubls with a icecap 660 ballast. for LPS the catalina should be fine.
