FS - 150w Aqualight Pro Series HQI Lighting Fixture, 72"

Consider getting 250 W ballasts instead of 150w's.
Easy to re-fit.

From my understanding this is not the case. I looked into it a while ago. Basically they designed it so you couldn't do that. Google it.

This is only the case for the Aqualight pro I must add. Other systems don't have this issue.

I'd switch the PC's over to T5's and well you can fit two 72" on each side giving you more color choices
I've done it on two of my friends Coralife fixtures and it's alot brighter and bulb varations

One thing I know about this hobby is you can buy the latest and greatest till the cows come home.
Personally right now I'd leave the LED fixtures alone until they become more affordable, yes there's alot of benifits with LEDS but it all comes at a huge up front cost.
As there is also Plasma bulbs comming out :P yes even more technology :P lol
I would do the up grade on the halides , and convert the PC's to T5's or even go with LED's as a supplemental lighting but for right now cost wise the up grade is probly the best bet
