Upgrade 150 to 250 MH

The ballasts on the Coralifes are external, except for the PC ballasts. I've heard of guys doing this before but I just haven't heard them being very happy with the result.

Plus, the bulbs are a different length no? Needing new holders as well if they are and maybe even trimming back the reflector.

That's really why people haven't been happy with the change in the past and why I went with a change to the PC's instead.

I called JL about this exact question and they said one of their employees tried to upgrade 150W Aqualight Pro to 250W and they had lots of problems and told me it's very dangerous.
