Here's my question: I have a 75 gallon with two 250W SE MH and two 110W VHO's. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 125 but would like to do so without the extra electric bill from another MH. Is there a way I can set up my lights with only two MH's? I'd be willing to go with more VHO's or PC's or something, but I don't want bright spots or low light spots unless someone has one like this and can show me pics. Thanks for the help.
 
My tank is doing just fine with two 250w MHs. It's "dim" on the ends, but is enough to grow anything but SPS/light loving LPS. So I just put my SPS/LPS in the middle four feet, and on the ends my xenia, GSPs, etc. Most of my aquascaping is in the center, covering my center overflow, so you really don't notice the lack of light on the sides at all. MHs are REALLY bright..
