    for that price it shoudl be 400's. I would recommend 400's for that deep of a tank.

    If just temporary it should be fine, I wouldn't worry about the 250 vs. 400w. Seems like a pretty good price to me.

    the proce is a bit high IMO, but with only lps and softies you should be alright... again, IMO.

    If you're getting two new bulbs, that's worth at least $100 and then $270 for the fixture for 3 lights isn't bad at all IMO, as long as it comes with ballasts. If you think the price is high, just offer a lower price.
