if you can afford it go with the 250's it is night and day from a 175 to a 250.. doesent sound like much but it is a huge jump PAR wise, especialy if you go the HQI ballast route. I had 18" of water and a 175 to start with and then I upgraded to the 250's.. I can say I got a lot faster growth and a tone more color (even from the LPS and softies).

plus there are a lot more options for bulbs in the 250 size.
