HQI...Are there any advantages?

[Nyyanks154]

Just wondering as i get closer to lighting my 55g tank...are there any advantages/disadvantages to having 2 150w HQI bulbs over 2 standard 175 watt bulbs besides the obvious increase in wattage?

anyone?

you will have more bulb choices with the 175's.

initial cost i believe is negligable.

go 175w then you can burn the new iwasaki 14ks. they rock
