I just upgraded to a 125 and have two 250 mh above it right now. I have a big nempty (dark) spot in the middle of the tank. I found a good deal on two 175s but need to know if that's gonna just cook my corals. I'm doing sps. The 175s are on seperate ballast so I can run just one of them if both would be to much. Thanks in advance for any help

I run my 125 with 2x175 watts one on each end and 1 x 250 over the middle. I keep the SPS in the middle everything else lives on the sides.

I am planning on using two 250's in my 125 I am setting up currently. I believe they will be plenty.
