Lighting on 180 Oceanic, opinions plz and thanks

[Aquaticus]

I am redoing the lighting on my 180 so I can to more SPS and clams. RIght now it has 2 elec 175 10ks and 2 CSL 96wt actinics. Grows most everything great. I am planning to switch out the 175s for E-Ballast 400s (Still 10ks). What do you think?

O yeah, I thought about 3 MHs, but this tank has a fairly large overflow box in the back left corner and the large glass brace in the middle of the tank.

Thanks! Your opinions are truly appreciated.

You didn't mention the types of corals you would be keeping but with 3 400's I guess it would not really matter. Sounds good to me. Nice tnak by the way....

check out aqualine bucshke's aquaspaclight,killerIMO,ihave a 175 oceanic, sps and clams, with this light and it rocks,3 250 hqi's.
do some searches on tests performed. its pricet though but worth every penny,bulbs last longer 18 months,par values are high,great fixture ballasts and bulbs all in one fixture,no bulky ballast boxes,just two plugs,plug in and go!
