    If you plan on stepping up to stonies(sps), you are going to want to add another metal halide bulb or your lighting isn't going to be that strong. The rule of thumb is usually one bulb for each two feet in tank length.
    Plus you should have atleast 5-6 watts per gallon for the colors of most of the vivid stonies to come thru. Take a look at some of these Acropora's and Montipora's in other websites. Alot of them house the corals under 250 or 400 watt hqi metal halides with some using 1000watt bulbs. The more the light the better for alot of the small polyped stonies to really capture their enduring colors!

    the light is a 250w and i have it almost above where the acros are going to be. if i find that i need to add another i will but i also like the fact the other corals have a bit less light .its a bit of an experiment;)
    cheers
