Lighting Questions...

I will picking up the 150g AGA tank (72"wx18"dx28"h), I need the help with selecting the correct retrofit kit. I am torn between 175w and 250w. I am planning to have some sps and some hard ones along with some fishes.

I was browsing those websites with many informations from reefcentral's many forums.

Selected items:
1) 6' RETROFIT 3MH 6 EURO COMPACT FL 65W by Hamilton Technology Corp
2) Coralife Aqualight Pro 150 Watt HQI
3) Get 3 of those: Sunlight Supply Reef Optix 3 Plus 250W Double Ended HQI Reflector and get one: IceCap 72 inch VHO Retrofit Kit - 2 Lamps
4) Get 3 of those: 250-watt Double Ended Pendant system, Coral Vue Technologies and get one: IceCap 72 inch VHO Retrofit Kit - 2 Lamps

Or you have better suggestion for me.

I'd go with the 250w for sure if you are keeping SPS, you will see a lot faster growth all the way to the bottom of the tank. TinMan
