I currently have basic softies under my PCs. I have the opportunity to upgrade to metal halides at a respectable price. Question: is it worth it to upgrade to MH if I dont plan of keeping SPS?

Metal halides are expensive alone, but there may be a few things you will need.. Metal halides will heat the water up considerably more, and you may need a chiller. Depending on how high off the water you put the metal halides will determine that... The great thing about metal halides, when you go to the LFS you dont have to worry about what you can get, and if you ever see something SPS you cna just get it..

My opinion would be to get the metal halides, because you open yourself up to a new world of corals... If you will not be getting SPS, or clams mainly, you should be ok not getting the halides...
