So here is the deal. I have a 55G right now with only 4x65W PC's. I want to put two of the 65W PC's over my new fuge, and get two MH"S for my tank. I want to do some SPS, LPS and softies. Basically, I want to be able to keep pretty much whatever I want. I am starting out but I know the PC's are not enough. So I was talking to someone at one of the better LFS's here and he suggested that I go with 250's as opposed to 175's. I know that the whole watts per gallon thing is a bunch of bull, so what do you guys suggest. I have a friend who just purchased a sunlight supply ballast from oceanencounter.com and I really like the design, it just looks and feels sturdy. I am thinking 10K bulbs for MH and leaving the remaining two PC's which are actinic over the tank. Any suggestions on bulbs and ballasts or whatever else you think would be appreciated
