so i have my 55 and want to have 2 150w metal halides on it have have some extra purple in there too. what woulkd be the best way to get everything to stay in there and look good.
 
good halide bulbs with ati t5 bulbs really depends on what kind of halide mogul base or double ended u can get better with double ended mogul base u limited on brands least i was with my 175w ones. then either run ati blue plus or a blue plus and purple plus or two attinic really depends on look u going for u get better coral color with a 18k look both better growth out of a 10k look thats for sps lps and softies is different they probably do better under the 18k look since they usually require lower par reading . im sure some one will correct me if im wrong i dont keep lps really just going off of what ive read and heard
 
right now i have a 4X39 watt t5HO and im getting aqua medic 150w DE halide with 10k bulb in there and want to keep that bulb for as long as i can. i want it to look more blue so everything pops
 
yes its a 55 witch is 48 inches witch is 4 feet and i want to run 2 150 watt MH and have the the t5ho witch are 36 inches and have vents on either side and have one fan pushing air outside through drier venting. how does that sound?
