i'm going to be starting a 270 gallon build soon. it measures 72x36x27, erobraced. i currently have 3 radion g3 pros. i was thinking of throwing up 2x 250 watt or 400 watt radium bulbs. i'm trying to figure out what bulb i should use and which ballasts and reflectors. any input would be great!!!

So you'll put the two mh between the radions?
That should be interesting..
Maybe reeflux 12 or 14 k.. Only because I've seen such nice results from reeflover's tank.
You'll be able to really tweak the overall 'look' of the tank with the radions...
Otherwise, you really can't beat the radiums...

Im dealing with a somewhat similar decision. There isn't much recent information on the currently available reflectors. I've been considering the Hamilton Cozumel reflectors and supplementing with ATI sunpower t5 fixtures. My tank will be wide like yours and from what I've read, the Cozumel has the best spread unless you can find used Lumenarc III reflectors.
