Very nice tank dimensions by the way. 150 Watt over this tank? I don't think it would quite cut it for SPS. If you do go the metal halide route pick up an electronic ballast that has switchable wattage so if you decide to change the reflector you're not out a ballast. I'm currently using Vertex Illumilux over my SPS tank for supplemental lighting and I can damn near use them as stand alone lighting, over your tank two 36" fixtures would do it. Talk to Craig at Red Coral and see what he recommends. If you're in the Hat anytime you're welcome to come look at mine.
