I have two 250W metal halides on my 125 and I've been thinking of upgrading. My first thought was to swap both lamps and run 400W. That would give me 800W total, 6.4W/gallon and would run me about $900 at my LFS. I started thinking that maybe I would just install a third bulb. If I go that route I could add a 400W for 900W total and 7.2W/gallon or another 250W for 750W total and 6.0W/gallon.
I'm kind of leaning towards getting another 250W at this point but wanted to hears some other thoughts on the mattter. If adding another 250W would provide enough light for my tank I wouldn't mind saving some money.
Thanks,
Mike
