Halide or PC ?
Hmm amazing no one has asked what you want to keep in it and how deep of a sand bed you are planning.. a33 is only 18" deep so if you go with a 4" sandbed you are looking at a efective depth of ~13" of water. I would say that unless you want to do a mostly SPS tank then go with the PC's, whare as if you want to do mostly SPS then go MH. I am not sure what BCReefer is keeping but I know a few people that had to get rid of some nice LPS and softies as the MH was to much light for them. Personaly if they are the same price (the 150 MH and the 96 watt PC) and you are only getting one.. I would got for the 96 watt PC. the intensity is about the same but you will get a better coverage with the PC IMHO. so in the end it is up to what you plan to do..
hope that helps
Steve
