BTW Milad

I'd switch the PC's over to T5's and well you can fit two 72" on each side giving you more color choices
I've done it on two of my friends Coralife fixtures and it's alot brighter and bulb varations

One thing I know about this hobby is you can buy the latest and greatest till the cows come home.
Personally right now I'd leave the LED fixtures alone until they become more affordable, yes there's alot of benifits with LEDS but it all comes at a huge up front cost.
As there is also Plasma bulbs comming out :P yes even more technology :P lol
I would do the up grade on the halides , and convert the PC's to T5's or even go with LED's as a supplemental lighting but for right now cost wise the up grade is probly the best bet

well its just looking light for me to upgrade this fixture to 250w its going to cost as much as if I do a LED DIY kit. Plus i need something to do during Christmas break.

ya tank is looking good, learning alot. im about to build a MASSIVE sump with a big ATS, about 300g total. should be a good project.

Ya , I think its the best idea, btw the ballasts for the T5's can fit in the fixture so you can keep it looking the original and I'd see how much coralifes 250 ballasts are

I'm without a tank right now selling my place god I've been going crazy with out it lol
