    Thanks for the replies, I working so much the last few days, no time to researdh/purchase something. Yesterday and Today, I'm not even home at all when my DT lights are on. Off tomorrow though, I need to get more adequate lighting before my coral starts to suffer.

    For adequate lighting IMHO, I need two 3ft long fistures, as my tank is 6ft long.

    I really don't want to use MH. I want to stay with my PC's for now, or go T5, or LED.

    Well,

    I went with an Ebay
    PC system. Comes with 2 x 96W, 1 daylight, 1 actinic, and some moon LEDs!
    comes WITH bulbs too! Around $110 dollars. The bulbs alone are at least $25, and up to $50 at the lfs.
    3 swtiches and 3 cords to have each on a seperate timer.
    I got 2 of them, for my 125g. They are 36" each, like my old ones.

    I'll upgrade to LED's, maybe in a year or two.

    Thanks for the replies.
