is it possible to change a 48" 150w coralife into a 250w by buying new ballasts and bulbs? or should i knock off the bullshite and just buy another light all together.

The light mounts are different between the two wattages.

28 inches deep I would think you would be better off with 400 Watt halides in a tank that deep.

i doubt ill go with 400w, 250w is probably more what i was looking for unless thier is something in between,im also wanting a nice looking fixture.
