Wattage Deprived Corals?

Hi Crew (Not sure who’s answering this), My jaw dropped when I read this article/answer by Anthony regarding Actinic wattage doesn’t really count? 9/13/04. Copy of article is at the end of this email. I’ve had a 55gal reef tank for 6 years now. My corals include mushrooms, polyps, candy canes, a hammer, colt, and cabbage. My lighting currently are two 65watt 10,000k daylight & two 65watt 420nm Actinics PCs by Sunpaq. My 1st Question: I thought I had (4×65)=260watts of light gleaming through my tank, which is roughly 4.7watts per gallon. I realize coral placement fits into the scheme of things. If Actinics don’t provide health benefits am I really looking at only (2×65)=130watts of helpful coral light?
