So I have a 29 gallon Reef currently with 2x65W PC 10000k(Current USA). Ive gotten some great color with these bulbs however, im looking at replacing them with 150w Halide. Specifically the Corallife Aqualight hang on Light fixture. It accomodates different bulb temps up to 20000K. I want to get beter color out of my sps, as they are definitely healthy, growing, encrusting. but the color is dull despite target parameters. What are your thoughts people?
PS- Also thinking of transfering current tank to a 46 gallon bowed tank.

I think it is a great idea. You might have some heat issues though. I also think getting a bigger tank is a great idea, but I am on the fence about bow tanks. Sometimes they good to me, and other times they don't. If you do plan to go to a 46g though, you might want think about a 250w halide.
