Justusfish, I realize this is a old thread. I am upgrading my ballast on my 150W Aqualight right now. I went with the Galaxy selectable e ballast. I'm thinking now if I should upgrade the lamps as well (seeing that all I have to do now with the ballast is flip the switch from 150 to 250).

I know the end caps are larger with the 250W bulb, are the 250W bulbs and longer as well? Or can I just replace the 150W endcaps with 250W endcaps?

Another cool mod is to rip out the PCs and replace with T5s. I took mine out and replaced the stock 36" PCs with 4 48" 54W T5's worked really nice and more options with coloration. I just sold them to a buddy after replacing with LEDs
