I am running 2 75 watt pc bulbs ( soon 2 95 watt atinic bulbs) and a 175 halide bulb, I want to add another halide should I spring for a 250 watt or would another 175 be ok??? I am planning to add a clam and some acros to my reef, right now it is mostly softies though that are doin great under the lights.

I think that would depend on how your tank heats up Rick. If you go 250W you may have to buy a chiller for summer, but it will expand what you can keep for corals. On my new tank I went with 400W halides, I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have stuck with T5s.
The biggest question, how deep is your tank?
Yes, tank specs would help. :wink:
