Bob, I'm not completely going away from PCs. I bought a 96W PC smartlamp retrokit to supplement the MH. I'll be taking out the 2x55W PC canopy that is sitting on the tank right now. This way, I can have more open space between the tank and the lights so I can stick my hand in the tank more easily.
After 1 year in the hobby, its time for me to move on to the bigger things such as Acropora. The PCs are great for everything I kept except for 1/2 of my Acroporas. Several of my Acroporas remained brightly colored under the PCs but half turned brown. I could add more PCs and see what happens but I know MH is a sure thing.
Lee, yes, the IceCap 250W ballast will run every 250W bulb out there according to IceCap. I'm getting the 10k K (Actually 13k K) Aqualine bulb. I got an Email back from Ocean Encounter and they do ship by US postal service. Yeah! Of course, I'll wait and see if anything better or close comes up locally during Boxing Day.
