you could probly do a 70 watt hqi. and since its hooked into your total system, you wont have to worry about heat problems.

Well, since you're wanting Acros, I'd also agree that MH will be required. Although you could go with T5HO or the new LED systems. LED is very expensive though.

Pc's are a waste of money IMO.

They are twice the price as T5's and much less effective.
