Very nice tank dimensions by the way. 150 Watt over this tank? I don't think it would quite cut it for SPS. If you do go the metal halide route pick up an electronic ballast that has switchable wattage so if you decide to change the reflector you're not out a ballast. I'm currently using Vertex Illumilux over my SPS tank for supplemental lighting and I can damn near use them as stand alone lighting, over your tank two 36" fixtures would do it. Talk to Craig at Red Coral and see what he recommends. If you're in the Hat anytime you're welcome to come look at mine.

If I were to go with MH I would definately go double ended. So if you say a 150w won't cut it would you say one 250w? I'm leaning more towards the LED at this point, and I was looking at a few different units, my number one choice was the orphan unit, key unit, however medhatreefguy, you mentioned the Vertex illimilux unit, and I had originally looked at that however I thought due to small size of the unit, and the 24" width of my tank I would have to use quite a few units to supply my coral with enough light, but seeing as you think I might only need two I'll take the vertex unit into consideration, how high would you think I would need to hang the unit from the top of my tank?
