    I'm looking to replace my old fixture for my 48" 75g and I an trying to decide
    on 2x150 MH HQI Fixture or 2x250 MH HQI's along with T5 or PC actinics.
    I like the dual 250's but am worried about the heat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I plan on keeping clams and some of the harder sps corals.
    Thanks,
    Larry

    i would go with the 250w with T5's and if you can hang them from the ceiling if they heat the water too much just raise them up some
