I just upgraded my lights from 175 MH SE to 250W MH HQI DE.. Its a retro fit and I am happy. Now lets see what the corals think.

Looks good.... Do you have any other supplementation ?? I have 250w DE's that I plan on using, but was going to go with a 14K I think to try to get more "blue"....
 
Yeah I also have a couple of Corallife True Actinc 03 Blue 48' but its not helping much as these 250w are really white. But I kind of am getting use to it.. We will see. I am thinking of setting up VHO retro as supplement for more blue.
 
nice, the tank definitely looks brighter now. the fixture I got from you works fine bro' It's blowing my frags away, oh well more growth I guess.
