150W and 250W bulbs are physically different sizes aren't they?

If i were to upgrade the ballast down the road, it still wouldn't hold a 250W bulb wouldn't it?

I'm pretty sure it's the 75W/150W bulbs that are the same size, not the 150W/250W

I've got the 150 also, and I'm not sure it's going to be bright enough. Ballastsfor 250w are 112 each and sockets are about 20. I'll upgrade after the new year.

the 150 watts should be more than bright enough on a 16 inch high tank
