So here is the deal and i want to run this by everyone:

I have a 55g with 4x65w PC, and I want to upgrade to MH.

All of the fixtures that have MH and PC are too wide for my tank, and im not skilled enough to do wiring myself and sleep at night, so im not going the DIY route with MH. (My hood isnt tall enough for MH fixtures anyway)

I was thinking of getting 2 150w HQI llights and suppliment Actinic lighting with my pre-existing retrofitted PC lights (coralife aqualight), which i would buy new reflectors for and separate: 2 bulbs in back 2 in front with the halides shining down between.

In looking at this option, Ive come to two possibilities:
2x aquamedic 150w HQI fixtures
or
2x PFO lighting mini pendants.

Any thoughts or opinions??
