Default MH bulb reccomendations?

Well, I just recieved a couple 175Wmh Pendants from MikeP here. I have a couple questions. First, its 2 pendants, lamp shade style. I think white inside for reflector, which I know wont reflect very well. I got them to try MH, see how much heat it adds, and how the light looks. I am starting to get into SPS and dont think my T5's will cut it??? My tank is a 1/4 round, 24" radius, 20" tall. I will probibally make a hood, with some T5 suppliments as well?? Kinda like making a sunrise/sunset not just On/Off.

1st, do you think I'll need both 175W pendants on my tank?

2nd, what color, K rating bulb/s should I get? Presently running Geismann Actinic + and Midday. I want my colors to POP.

Heres a pic of my tank now. Thats a 24" 4 tube TEK on there now.
Thx in advance
