    Im assuming you mean 150w metal halide? I would do 2 of those then suppliment actinic with the stunners ? If thats the route you are going. However Just from exp... 150w MH isnt enough to really reach the bottom of the tank and provide enough light for corals and such. But if your just doing it for fish then it would be fine. I would try to go to a 200-250 W bulb. one on each side of the tank.

    Since you already have the one 150w MH, I would add another one and use the stunner strips as actinics or moon lights.
