none of the 150w ballasts list the xm 15k as the highest PAR bulb.

I was looking at the list for the 400w magnetic ballasts. It is different than the 150w list. As I said, the XM 15k is the highest PAR bulb of the 15k options for my ballast. There are a few 10K options with higher par than my current 20k XMs but those 10k are the only options higher in PAR. The 15k is lower and I have since started looking at other ballast/bulb options.

help???

help???

the lighting is intended for my 60 gal, (48" wide tank)
would upgrading to two 250w hqi's be OVERKILL???:smokin:
Id still like to keep my lps ...I'm still relatively new to the hobby,
but I had to fall in love with a little sps:celeb2: and the addiction has not stopped! should I regret buying a 150w version?

so being limited to two 150w hqi's .what bulb would give a high PAR but
still give the awesome look of 20ks,

Like Spineshank said, If I were in your shoes I'd look no further than the Iwasaki 15K... That bulb rivals a lot of 250w lamps.
