Sounds to me like you have a huge investment in LPS and SPS. I agree with Brad and zn3n, replace the chiller. If you are old school I think LED's would disappoint you and your SPS's.

+4 you can't replace a technology that's proven.just get a new chiller and your corals will love you for it!i regret switching to LED's

Kessils with the narrow lens will penetrate down....

Use the A360N if you have a controller and use the A350N if you don't and won't have a controller...

A friend of mine has a beautiful tank SPS (with some LPS) using T5 and LED hybrid. Cut your electical and heat.

I think a lot of people get into problems when switching the lighting on an established tank. Even if both technologies work there will be differences in spectrum, intensity, spread which can negatively affect the corals. This is why when switchig lighting you should go slow, better to let some corals get a little darker/brown than bleached, and slowly raise intensity.

switch to two x 250watt mh bulbs

With the cost of electricity sky rocketing I would much rather use good quality LED's than run 650 watts of MH and a chiller, unless you have the money and don't care about power costs. IMO
