Well I think that your best bet since you are going to move is to stick with the 65 watt. Don't do anything to your tank and then when you move you should get a larger tank. 65 watts should be fine for some soft corals. I had an eclipse 1 on a 37 high when I started out but I spent about $150 fooling with the lights. I had 2 55 watt pcs in the end but I had to clean the bulbs all the time and a couple of times they broke. All my corals did pretty good I didn't see a whole lot of growth but they lived. I had problems with fish in this set-up. I stopped getting fish after I felt like I was turning into a fish natzi. There is some stuff called coral life it comes in a blue bottle. It's by no means the best additive for corals but I used it in my tank and my Ca levels stayed at 400 so you might try that.
I say save your money, when you move give me a call. I can hook you up with a 90 gal reef tank and 30 gal refugium for $550. Now that is a good size tank for a beginner. good price too
