I have a 220gal 30" deep tank and I have been researching lights for the tank. I'm set on the 3x250W MH but still wondering about if I need 2x96W PC actinics or 4x96W PC's for the tank I'm looking at 3 different hoods all with electronic ballast 2 come with 2 PC's and one comes with 4 PC's but there is a $200.00 difference in price I don't think the PC's would make that much of a diference but I don't really know. Right now I have 2 400W MH and 260W PC actinics on a 120gal.

I run 3x250 mh's and I have 3x80 watt t5's as supplemental. That is what I would do in your set up as well. But I guess you are getting a hood, mine is retro so you should look into the maristar mh/t5 combo
