I just upgraded to a 150g 60x24x24 tank and have a 48" 6 bulb ati fixture above it, I have the opportunity to trade for a 60" 8 bulb ati. Should I stick with what I have or do I make the trade?

That's a no brainier! Take the trade. That 48in wouldn't light the areas that it doesn't cover well. So you can get the exact coverage you need and you get an additional 8bulbs that will help you grow sps with no problem

There's a problem the comes into play although I doubt it's anything major. The light bars are currently 48" apart and would have to drain the entire tank to pull it away from the wall to make them 60" apart. Not really a task I'm wanting to do.

That would only take 15-30mins. Just get 2-3 brutes and drain the water from the tank to the brute cans with a 3/4 to a 1in hose, adjust the take or bars, and fill it back up. You could also place your corals and the brutes. Then just rinse the brutes out and take em back or keep em. They aren't that much and are worth having.
