get good HQI ballast and 250 watt AB's then you'll make all the 400 watt bulbs out there look like little school girl bulbs

250 HQI DE setups are just way too expensive.

We'll see what I can do.

Default chiller
Is there a pretty good chance you'll need a chiller if you're running 400W? What advantage do you get running 400W's over 250W's if the k rating is the same?

K rating has very little to do with anything other than esthetic's.
400W will produce more intense light further into the tank.

it also depends weather you are talking about a normal 250 watt or a HQI 250 watt. In my opinion depending on the bulb a 250 watt HQI set up will have more intensity than 90% of the 400 watt setups.

Steve, Can you show me proof that 90% of 250's have more intensity then 400's ? I have yet to read any data that states this. Only that for the slight increase the 400's offer 250's are a energy wise choice.
