Default Dim halides - thoughts?

Need some suggestions...

Pulled out a long forgotten 150w halide system I had hiding in the junk piles the other day... Sparked it up to see if it would run - Yay! It does...

Then I look at the light; look at the 110g... put the 150w onto the 110g, and with a 20k bulb - it's outshining the pair of 175w SE's that are on the tank...

Something's not right here. So I put in my "spare" bulbs (6500k ushio's with almost no runtime cuz they're yellow as heck) that 150 20k bulb is still brighter than the pair of 175w bulbs.

Going to go through the connections tonight - but is there anything I should be specifically looking at? This is an old DIY'ers halide - nothing fancy just a pair of tar ballasts...
